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?

Thanks to everyone who participated in my blog tour.  I am so grateful to C&T Publishing and all the stops along the way. This is the last stop of the blog tour.  Here are some quilts made from Simply Triangles book.

What can be done with the "Shenandoah Star" quilt?

 Make a wall quilt from one of the hexagon.

Make two quilts and quilt them together, one on front and one on the back.  Half the amount of quilting.
 

A smaller version of "Pinwheel Spin".

 

Check this quilt out that

American School Girls Quilt  made by using the repeats of fabrics. The pattern is "Fall Stars" in Simply Triangles.

A blue rendition of "Simple Christmas Star" in Simply Triangles book.  An overlay is on half the star diamonds to give the quilt dimension.


 A zigzag stitch is used over embroidery thread to accent the star.
