Your Radiant Heart block makes a great wall hanging.
I especially like the purple one.
Thanks
I like it too. I love the black background. Thanks for the give-away.
The jewel tones on the black background are really striking! Thanks for the chance to win.
Lovely! Especially love the purple one! Thanks so much!
What a beautiful block! I would have to say that I prefer the purple one. That could just be because orange is not a color I am very fond of. Thanks for the chance to win.
Wonderful giveaway and opportunity to win a really great book. The purple is my favorite - I love cool colors. Judy C
i like the purple one!
I definitely like the purple one best...the colors are striking together!
I love them both but the purple one is calling me. Love the block...anxious to make it!
Both are beautiful, but I love the purple one with the dark background fabric. It's simply striking. Thanks for the giveaway!
What a darling block! Congrats on being in the magazine. Both of those color ways are nice, but I am a blue/purple person, so I like that one better :) Thank you.
Purple! The block is stunning, and I love the wall hanging! Thanks for the chance to win!
I like the orangy warm toned one the best! Cheryl
I love the orange one. My favorite quilts to make are fall quilts - I just love the warm colors!
I think the purple one is more striking! both very beautiful though! nelfamily at windjammercable dot net
Orang is one of my most favorite colors, so I chose that one.
I'm working on an orange quilt right now, so I vote for orange!
I like the purple one -- very vibrant.
Oh, I'm in LOVE. Stars and hearts? A perfect combination! I like the orange version. :-)
congrats. Great block. Hmmm! I have to pick? Purple!
Love the purple block and the Wall hanging with that block! Great job! Congrats on having it in the new book! Keep up the great job!
I love the jewel tones. Great job on displaying your block.
I love the purple one!!!
I am all about the orange, one of my favorite go to colors lately. Probably has to do with Spring finally arriving. I love paper piecing and can't wait to try it.
Love the zig zag border, it really set the block off. I just love the purple version.
Well I just love the block and I would have to go with the orange. I know it is not a popular color but Love it...thanks so much and congratulations.
Sharon
Hmm..I just love both of them and I'm not a orange person! In the end I think that I'd go with the orange since I'm trying to broaden my horizons and do something daring..like doing an orange quilt! Thanks for being part of the blog hop and the chance to win.
Love the jewel tones, blues greens
I love both colors..I think the purple one is my favorite but will probably make the orange one for a fall wall hanging. I will just have to make a few of them....

They are both great! I am actually an orange person, but for some reason I prefer the purple block in this case. I love hove the blocks come together in the 4 block quilt to create the x in the center and the black background star!
I have to say the purple one. Very nice. Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy of the magazine.
Mary
I like the blue,purple, green one! Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the purple block. I can already see it on my wall. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of the magazine.
The purple/blue one is my choice. Thanks for showing the block in alternate colours. It always helps one, when visualizing a quilt, to see different ways of making the block. Thanks also for the chance to win.
I also like the purple one best.
I prefer the orange heart because of the light background and I can see the details which are beautiful. The block is neat and so is the name.
I like the purple one best.
Beautiful block! I love the secondary design that emerges when you create the wallhanging.
Blue & purple - my favorite!

Awesome block - I'm partial to the orange for this - makes the heart more visible. :)
Love that block! Usually I am a blue person but I think this time I like the orange better.
I am a real fan of hearts as a design motif - and, as much as I love warm colors, I must say that I truly like the purple version better.
:) Linda
I LOVE the orange one, because what better color than the sunset! Beautiful work and thanks for the sharing.
I like the purple one, but te other is right up there too!
I love the purple block. More my style of colors. Looks like a great quilt!

I like the purple Radiant Heart block, but I am tempted to try it in red or fuschia for a table runner for next Valentine's Day!

I guess I would choose purple. Wouldn't red and black be striking too.

Definitely purple. Very cool and soothing. Congratulations on being selected for the magazine.

I really like the orange one I am a purple person but the orange one has a life of its own and really stands out from the other one.
Thanks Lisa
I really like the orange one. It glows! Thanks for a chance to win.
Love the colors of the block, it just pops!
I like both colorways of your block - but the purple one entices me more. Congrats on being included in the 100 Blocks mag. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite is the blue and purple Radiant Heart and the zig zag border really sets it off beautifully!
Do I have to pick!??!! I'm going to have to go with orange. I'm in love with orange for summer.
I love the contrast on the Orange block, but I've never met a blue block that I didn't like:) Congratulations! Looking forward to viewing the magazine.
Congrats! I love the orange block! thanks for the magazine giveaway!
the purple one!!!! those are my colors, I'm drooling.....
Your block makes me want to try paper piecing and that is saying a lot because I am a new quilter and my seasoned quilting friends talk about how hard paper piecing is. The purple one really shows off the design, or at least, I think so!! Lucky you for getting your block in the magazine.
As much as I love purple, I like the orange better. I think it shows up better!
I like the browns and orange shades, but purples against black are a great combination too.
Debbie
I love the purple one!! And I LOVE hearts!!! Congrats on making the "cut"!

I would say the purple one I like, although not bad in orange...they are both great! Can't wait to see it in the magazine!
I like the orange/fallish one..that's my favorite color for LOTS of quilts!
My vote is for the purple. I usually prefer Fall colors, but the purple heart just sings.
Congrats! I love the purple version!
Definetly the orange one!!! I love the color orange! Congrats on getting your block in the newest magazine! HUGS... and stitches
Thank you so much for this chance :) Congratulations on being selected for the magazine!! Way cool :) I prefer the purple, but then maybe it's because you have the purple hanging patched together, but the are both beautiful!
Love the block. My favorite would be the purple one. Thanks for the giveaway.
I've always been partial to purple but this time the orange won called to me. Go figure. Thanks for the lovely blocks and congratulations on our achievement.
purple/teal one - it looks amazing in that 4 block one
Orange for me...because I have used blue and purples in quilts for years and am currently trying to choose other colours.
Oh the orange for me. Definitely the orange! Love that happy color.

It's a tough choice, butI've got to go with the orange one!

The orange one is my favorite - but just imagine one with a white background, a red heart, then blues for the "rays" - a perfect patriotic quilt!!
I choose the purple block and love the 4 block setting. Very nice. Congrats on being chosen for the book
Purple all the way - tied in with some white daisy blocks... ummmmmmm... I think I see a quilt coming together! Thanks Bunches!
I just love the orange....
Congrats on being chosen for the book....What an honor.
I'm not an orange person, but I think I like it better, lol -- the wall hanging with the ribbon border makes your block really pop! Great job!
I'm a purple kind of gal. Thanks for participating and giving a chance to win
Love the purple! Very dramatic. Thank you! Can't wait to see all the blocks! Paper Piecing was one of the first forms I learned....not many people around here use it/are familiar with it. I found a book recently on it and had to have it as my original stash was lost in a move.
I like the blue block. It kind of has an iridescent look to it.
I like the orange block the best. But they are both so cute!! Thank you!
Purple Thanks for the opportunity to visit and enter the drawing.
A delightful block! I like the purple best. Thanks for the opportunity to win Vol.3!!
I love the purple one with the jewel tones - the colors are just so rich against the black backdrop.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a nice magazine.
Regards,

PURPLE of cause I always wear RED HATS. THANKS for the chance
Purple! ... and the block would look great in lots of different color schemes!

very hard choice. I love fall colors but the purple one really catches your eye.
Great block, beautiful colors and paper pieced! What else would you need for a beautiful quilt!
purple for sure---and I love hearts, so this is my fav block of today!
I love hearts and the orange one really makes it stand out. I don't usually pick orange but I felt it really made it pop.
Your block's a cutie pie. I love the black background
The orange block, all the way!
wordygirl at earthlink dot net
Oh, purple - for sure.
They are both pretty but I love the purple! I really love paper piecing, so can't wait to try out your block!
Good evening...
Even though the block is paper pieced it gives the impression of having curves, I like that. The purple is my clear choice but the orange has a personality all it's own...
Ya done good...

Orange is always a fav of mine but this purple just sings to me. I love it.
I love this block! Neat and dynamic!
Thanks for sharing!

I prefer the cool colors of the purple block. Either color though, it's a gorgeous block!
Beautiful block. Thanks!
I vote for the purple because the radiating points have two distinctive colors whereas the orange seems to blend more. thanks for the chance to win a copy!
I liked the purple one, but I also tend to prefer the cooler colors. I like the block and it looks easy to make.
Wonderful....and since purple is a royal color, I think that would be very appropriate!
I love the block and I vote for the orange, since I love all the autumnal colours.
One of each please. They are wonderful but, I guess the orange one is my favorite.
Love the Purple Green tones. So beautiful and calming.
I'm liking the purple one - especially the way you have it paired with the teal. I love pp'ing and can't wait to give your block a try.
wow i really like the purple one .is beautyful.thanks
it's about 11:58 here, but even if i'm past midnight, i still wanted to say how lovely your block is! purple, definitely!
