Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour: Grand Finalé

Hurray! I’ve waited (im)patiently all week but my turn to post is finally here! If you are a new visitor to my blog, welcome...or as the Celts in my beautiful province of Nova Scotia, Canada say: "Ciad Mille Faite". (A Hundred Thousand Welcomes). I hope you take the time to look around and become a regular. There are lots of pictures and tips and tutorials, my main website is here and ...who knows?...you may even learn a little bit about beekeeping on the side!Earlier this week, I challenged readers to pick which was my block from this shot of the mug. Linda and Gail, two dedicated quilting bloggers, both emailed to say they knew exactly which one was mine so... ladies, did you get it right?!
It's this one, plain and simple.
If you know me at all, you know I operate on the KISS principle. My favourite quote, attributed to Albert Einstein, is "Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler." And that's exactly how this block was born. Essentially, I started with a square and added a narrow sashing with angled ends. It was fine but Albert would have viewed it as too simple. So I split the centre square into an HST and it was immediately better. I could place blocks side by side to get this...and thus the name Hidden Stars was born.
Placing the blocks on point was even more fun:
Here are some layouts you get when rotating the block:

It's cool how the stars superimpose themselves over what's going on in the background with the HSTs.
The good folks at Quiltmaker also liked the simplicity of the block and played around with their own layout. They decided to make a kit available with full instructions and yardage to complete the quilt shown below. You can check out the details here:
For those of you who have the block instructions from the magazine, here's a simple runner you can make using large florals and only three blocks. Finished, it will measure 12-3/4" x 25-1/2". Simply follow the instructions for the block, tripling the yardage given for the materials. I like how that centre star cinches the middle section together, almost like a tiny waist or a bow on a package.
Of course, you can also do it full sized and add a funky pointy border as well.
There's no limit to where simple can take you. If you'd like to win a copy of the magazine, leave a comment at the bottom of this post by midnight tonight (Friday), AST (Atlantic Standard Time) saying where you are from. Please make sure that your email address is included so I can contact you; send it to me here in addition to the comment if you are unsure.
I'd like to thank Quiltmaker magazine for such a fun week and so many wonderful surprises. I visited every designer's blog and really enjoyed the experience. There is one final surprise once you get a copy of the magazine in your hands and that relates to the signatures you may have noticed on the blocks. Scroll back up and see mine. There's a reason they are there...but you need to have the magazine to find out! So, leave your comment for a chance to win or check the newsstands on May 10th. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for visiting, and make sure you visit the rest of the designers on today's tour!
EDIT: I am getting a lot of comments without email addresses which means I cannot contact you. MAKE SURE your profile is enabled in the settings for your mail account, type your address in the comment, or email me after you've left the comment to send your address. I need to have your email address!

    The deceptively simple nature of your block is so appealing. The first on-point setting is probably my favorite.

  56. Ok, I'll try again, but as I start typing...as the last time...MR started talking to me! Can't type one answer and have a different conversation at the same time. Geesh! My brain is on Quilt overload, lol. I could just lock myself in the sewing room if I had a butler and a maid!

    I am from WV...but live in southern Maryland. It's not too far from home, but the most direct route takes me around the DC beltway, yuck! If weather and time permits I usually cross the Patomic River down here and drive through the VA country side. Much more pleasant than the beltway.
    Deleted post message...I like the simple design, and the variety of design possiblities. Thanks for sharing your design process!

  57. I knew You were Canadian as soon as your Blog popped up. Nice Block, EH? I like the hidden stars, similar to hunter's stars and the bands made by the HST's are the Milky Way, Thanks for the KISS...Simply done! Hope I win the Magazine. I'm from Washington State.

  74. This is another block on the tour that delivers so much more when you play with the settings than would first seem from the block design.

    And that's good because it means you get a lot of quilt bang for not a lot of piecing. Well done!

  113. I was born in Illinois and am still living there about 100 miles away from where I was born. I LOVE your block because it's one that's very easily done by a still beginning quilter like me. Quilts done on point are something I am very interested in and seeing yours that way made me want to maybe try working on yours first. The table runner is awesome. LOVE IT! Now I just need to get my hands on that magazine. I tried to see if possibly I'd be lucky and my local store might have had it out today but, nope, no such luck. Darnit. :( Now with your tease about the signatures I am even more anxious to get my own copy. What a sneaky little thing you are teasing like that. LOL

    Congratulations on being in Issue 3.
