Make a quick table runner – add sashing and cornerstones!
My go-to block is the Rail Fence — lots of versatility and goes together quickly when I need to make a quilt on short notice.
I like to make Flying Geese. The results are immediate.
I am partial to star blocks of any kind. But lately I have been going crazy with pinwheels!
love it! my favorite blocks are stars of all kinds.

The friendship star is my favorite block. So simple yet it speaks volumes! I recently finished a friendship star quilt in blue & yellow for MY bed!
I love stars. All kinds of stars. I like pointy things and all the design possibilities when combining them with other stars or simple shapes.
Love the log cabin block and all of its possibilities. kathleendotlutzatcomcastdotnet
I love stars, all kinds of stars, so yours is right up my alley.
I love blocks with a star design. There are so many ways to set them together.
What a soft, pretty star! Star patterns are by FAR my favorite quilt pattern, but I’ve never done one in pastels. I need to get started. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m partial to sweet little Churn Dash blocks. I love it’s simplicity and versatility.
My favorite block is a Dresden Plate. You can use so many different colors together or just use two.
I like so many different blocks! Drunkard’s Path is always a fun one to work with and it can be changed to create many different designs, both traditional and modern.
I love star blocks – especially the tricky type that need to be paper pieced.
I love them all!! I’m so traditional though I seem to be partial to the log cabin.
Congratulations!!
I love the log cabin and its variations! It was the first block/quilt I made and still love it!
I love the soft colors you picked for your block!
Love your block, but my all-time favorite is the log cabin, so versatile!
My favorite quilt block is Corn & Beans because my hubby is a Great Organic Gardener!
My favorite is the different featheref stars. Great block.
I love the churn dash – it’s so versatile!

Lately my favorite is the churn dash!
My fave block has to be made with paper piecing. Love your block and the colors you used for it
My favorite block is the Nine Patch because it is so versatile and long lived!
I am drawn to just about any block that has a star design to it. I am finishing a Tumbling Block as my first hand-pieced and hand-quilted project. As a newbie, I should have chosen something ‘straighter’ if you know what I mean!
I really love a sawtooth star block….I love the table runner with your block.

My favorite quilt block is any with a star in it. I really like your moon star block.
I like the versatility of the flying geese block. But once in a while hand piecing is what I crave.
I like log cabin. It always looks great!
My favorite block is Tumbling Block, inspired by the quilt I own, made by my grandmother in 1930s or 1940s. I’ve never attempted one myself, but hope to someday.
My favourite block is the log cabin, it was one of the first I discovered when I started quilting.
My favorite block is Jacob’s Ladder. I love how versatile it is.
I like using flying geese in various combinations. Thks.

There is something special about star blocks. Love this one! Pinwheels are one of my favorite blocks. They are easy and seem to fit into any type of quilt. Thanks!
I think my new favorite block might be your Moonstar–how beautiful!
I like the 9 patch. I use it to make fussy cut quilts for my grandkids!
I love star blocks!
I like flying geese blocks and pinwheels, too.
I really don’t think I have a favorite block although I do seem to like all star blocks.
My favorite quilt block of all is the Ohio Star. It’s easy to make and I like all kinds of star blocks.
Basket blocks are my favorite. They are so versatile and look great made up into a sampler quilt.
I’m a newer quilter, so I have to say I’ve enjoyed the churn dash block. Enjoy the different looks you get depending on which fabric/color placement.
And I absolutely love your block too!
I love the Moon Star Block. I really like the colors too!
Of course yours is my favorite ! I do like the way the blocks interact.
Lamoyne star, love the simplicity.
I love the churn dash. Why? because I love the accuracy of my Accuquilt dies when making it with scraps.
i love the disappearing hour glass block
I love Sunbonnet Sue!
Lady of the lake..I don’t know why, but it is!…thank you ….marta
What a cute block. Congrats on being chosen o be in the magazine. I love the pinwheel block, I love how it looks like it is spinning.
Well your Moon Star block really has a lot of possibilities – even scrappy, which I just love! If I was pressed to pick just one block as a favorite I think I’d have to go with log cabin…so basic and the design possibilities abound. Thanks so much for hosting an opportunity to win a copy of the Volume 11 issue!
My favorite block is the Bear Paw. I don’t know why, but it is! LOL
I really like this block! I can think of lots of ways to use it already!
Star blocks. They always look good.
The moon star block is great! Love the tablerunner.
The log cabin is my favorite. There are so many variations to explore and make my own. Thanks.
So many blocks beauty is determined by the color choices in it that it is difficult to choose a favorite.
Any star block. I love your tablerunner!

Great block design! I love making nine-patches and their many variations.
Stars, especially a simple sawtooth star!
My favorite blocks are always stars. Yours is so unique and you’ve even made it easy to make!
Ohio Star, well, really I never saw a star block I didn’t like! Oh, and Mariner’s Compass blocks. Your block is quite unique, like it lots!
Anything to do with Hexies or Cathedral Windows…all hand pieced….
congrats your block is so very pretty. when my creative juices seem to have fled me my go to pattern is the log cabin, it is simple yet sooo versatile.
Dresden Plate and almost any star block. Great block
My favourite block is the log cabin. It is almost mindless and I can make it while I am planning other quilts in my head or watching TV. Love your Moon Star block. Would make a lovely little girl quilt.
I love the nine patch–it is so versatile.
I guess I would have to say half-square triangles for overall versatility. Flying geese are a close second.
My favorite block is the Ohio star. I like all star blocks and I think the Ohio star is probably the first block I ever saw on a quilt.
I like swoon blocks.
It’s very simple, but I just made a floating 4-patch quilt and it looked super. So, I am currently loving the patch blocks, 4, 9, 12, etc. Very traditional, that’s me. I love Moon Star.
Love your block and the table runner. My fav block has to be a four patch or nine patch. Thanks for the chance to win !!
This would be a fun block to play around with–colors, positioning, sashing or not, etc. My favorite block as of now would be Dresden Plate–piecing and applique.
My favorite blocks are star blocks – I don’t know why. Must mean that I am a traditional quilter. Thanks!
Moon Star is a lovely name for your block. Winding way is a wonderful block. Love the circles that come as a surprise.
Love your block. Love star blocks, especially the Friendship Star – so much hope!
thanks
Congratulations on your block! It looks like it wants to reach out and hug me! 🙂 Hugs right back! Karen
This is a very pretty block. I’m usually more drawn to applique blocks.
Wonderful block and table runner! Stars and pinwheels are my favorite blocks. Thanks for a chance to win.
Pretty block, and table runner. My favorite block is either Irish Chain or 8point Star.
I think the pinwheel is one of favorite blocks. You can just about put it anywhere in a quilt to create movement
I am so drawn to lone star blocks.. made a huge one for my dining room table 🙂
I love pinwheels because they just look like fun.
You made me go “Ah” when I saw your block. Such pretty soft colors. I love it. I love Card Trick and Snail Tail blocks as I always find them surprising how they turn out. Look so complicated but are easy to make and that makes quilt making such fun. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
Stars are my favorite blocks. This block is really great.
Cute block! I love tiny nine patches.
I love the churn dash block. I am an old fashioned girl and love the simplicity of that block, it can make a very elegant quilt.
My favorite quilt block is the Card Trick because I like the illusion of it. I love that about your block too, very clever piecing!
I am sticking with a 4-patch because it is so easy yet can be very versatile. That’s my story and I am sticking to it. Thank you for being a part of the QM’s 100 Blocks, Volume 11 Blog Tour and sharing your stunning block with all of us.

Love your Moon Star block! Star blocks, especially Hunter’s Star, are my favorites because there are so many different types.
My favorite block is the churn dash because it can be made to look so different by different arrangements of the colors. You can also stretch it to make it rectangular or put other blocks or fussy cuts in the center.
I love them all! Stars, logs, pinwheels, applique!!
Log cabins are wonderful because there are so many different variations in the block itself and in the possible layouts.
Log Cabins have been my favorite but lately Irish Chains have been stealing the thunder 🙂 Well, and then I love the Ohio Star block too. so many to choose from 🙂
Fenced Rail – It was the first quilt I made, 25 years ago – she is showing her age – but I still have her (she has retired!).
I love log cabin and flying geese blocks!
Log Cabin blocks are my favorite to sew.
I love star and log cabin blocks.
Very cool block! My favorite quilt block is the basket. I just think it represents home and comfort. Thanks!
Log cabin and Ohio Star!
I love most all of the traditional quilt blocks but I would have to say that the logcabin block is probably my favorite even though I’ve never made a fullsized log cabin quilt. There are just so many variations of it!
Log cabin I think it’s because I was the first quilt I made.
Love your block.

I love Dresden Plate quilts. My grandmother gave me one that she made when I was very young and I loved it so much that it fell apart. I am in the process of replicating it now. Thanks for the opportunity.
Most any “star quilt block” is my favorite. I love yours by the way. Thank you for a chance at a great win.
I love any star block or pin wheels and their variations.
Hi from MINEESOTA!! I like anything traditional and the Dear Jane patterns. Currently working on that quilt now. I love your block! Congratulations on having your block in the magazine! blaukat@hickorytech.net
Mariners Compass, I like how complex it could be.
I love flying geese!
Great block. I like churn dashes and stars.
My favorite is the bear paw, just because I like is best. (lol)
I am new to quilting and don’t have a favorite, now any that are easy.
My favorite quilt block is whatever I happen to be working on. I like a lot of variety in my quilts.
Beautiful block and runner.
I love to do nine patches and also use them for irish chains, but I change my mind yearly;)

My all time favorite quilt block… Dresden Plate!
Churn Dash.
I think I would have to say my favorite block is 54-40 or Fight. I made a graduation quilt for my son with that pattern, so it’s been a favorite ever since.
Star blocks are my favorite. Love yours. Thanks for sharing and a chance to win.
I like the friendship blocks, they are so easy to make.
Log cabin was my first quilt and I still love that block.
Congrats on making it in the magazine, I so look forward to seeing all the different blocks every time.
Love the churn dash block – why? I just do:) I also love log cabin blocks as they are such a variety of settings and you can use up scraps.
Log cabins are my favorite, it’s the first block I ever made and I just love how easy but different you can make it.
I love all star blocks–not sure why, I just love the stars!
I love quirky blocks and this issue seems to be full of them. I’ll definitely have to buy it if I don’t win one.
Ohio Star because I’m a Buckeye.
Ohio Star! Because I’m a Buckeye.
I love any block with a star in it!
My favorite is the hour glass block because I can use scraps to make it.
I love flying geese. I don’t know why really, but it was also one of the first blocks I made when I started quilting.
I love Granny Squares.
I love pinwheels!
I love log cabin blocks. They sew together easily and quickly yet are so versatile. Drunkard’s path is another favorite. Not so easy to sew but so versatile when laid out.
