Love this block! As for the layouts, I think it’s a tie between A and D.

Please send me your snail mail address, Lisa Marie!
Thanks so much to you all for participating.  If any of you make quilts with this block, please send pictures!

As you know, usually I try to answer every comment, but I am so behind on emails I haven’t had a chance.  I apologize We are awash with Nutcracker rehearsals here.  The kids have their first performances this weekend and we are doing our best to enjoy the moment.  Hope everyone is enjoying the special holiday season!

Happy sewing!

“Diagonal Delight” with Madame Samm!

Posted on — 131 Comments

Hi everyone!
Tomorrow I’ll be guest blogging over at Madame Samm’s.  She has been featuring a series of guest bloggers over that past month, each with their own unique block design.  Over the past year I have been experimenting with blocks that interlock – where one block seems to flow into the other in a seamless way – and this block is no exception.

Introducing “Diagonal Delight”…

On her own she doesn’t look like much, but look what she can do when multiplied…

Diagonal Delight Quilt C



Diagonal Delight Quilt D

 If you are looking for a tutorial to make this block, hop on over to Madame Samm’s. 

Now for the giveaway – this one is easy.  I’ll be giving away three of my patterns that exemplify this interlocking block idea:  Garden Paths, Bedazzled, and Beribboned.  All you have to do is follow (if you don’t already) and leave a comment on this post telling me which of the above designs is your favorite. 

That is it!  Don’t forget to leave me a way to contact you should you win!

Deadline is a little longer this time – Thursday, December 1st at midnight.

Happy sewing!
Amanda
