Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Magazine Vol. 9

Come join the fun in a blog tour to win Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 9 magazine. I am honored to be a part of this blog tour and to have my block in their magazine. 

My block is on page 34 and
 is called Triangle Tricks. The fabric is Stonehenge by Northcott.

My inspiration came from
 Colorful Star Tricks which was my block in
 Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks vol. 2.

Here are a few ideas of how to use the block Triangle Tricks.
Here is Triangle Tricks in a table runner.

I will also be giving a copy of my newest book
 Diamond Chain Quilts.

The quilt on the front of the book has only two different triangle blocks.
 Can you find the two units?

Leave a comment on this post telling me if you found the two triangle units used to piece the quilt on the front cover of Diamond Chain Quilts and you will be entered in the 100 Blocks Vol. 9 magazine and Diamond Chain Quilts book giveaway . Check out Quiltmaker’s blog each day to see the other stops on the 100 Blocks Blog Tour!

In my next blog post (May3) I will show where the triangle block units are and announce the winners.

Having trouble finding the triangle block? Here is a hint.
