Voting Results & Magazine Giveaway !!

First of all, a THANK YOU to each & every quilter who took the time to leave a comment. Since this was my first-ever Blog Tour, I had no idea what to expect.  WOW!! Your comments were graciously kind, wonderfully insightful & left me with the biggest smile on my face :)

I ended up selecting two winners at random:

1. "Sallie" will be receiving her magazine directly from Quiltmaker. Her comments:  
"Purple all the way! Thanks for the chance!"

2. "Duff" will be receiving her magazine from me. She commented:
"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’m sorry everyone couldn’t win! If the magazine isn't available in your area, be sure to get your copy here (plus there are more giveaways next week!) :
100 Blocks Vol 3 + More Giveaways

Now for the voting, PURPLE was the winner with more than 60% of the vote! I'm glad that so many of you liked the orange version, too, as I will probably make it up into the 4-Block Wall Hanging for a local quilt store. If I do, I will be sure to post a photo in the Radiant Heart Gallery. In the meantime, I whipped this up:

This is the first Radiant Heart I've made that isn't from Batiks! What do you think? I'm calling it "Stained Glass" Radiant Heart. A few of you had some different ideas for fabrics you might use - reds for Valentine's Day - white daisies .... I would love to see what you come up with!! Let me know - won't you ?? Faith.

100 Blocks Blog Tour - Come on in !!!

Thanks a bunch for visiting me today - the second day of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour !!!   I designed Block #226 - "Radiant Heart" - a really fun paper-pieced block that I hope you enjoy.
 

Here's the Radiant Heart as a 4-Block wall hanging with a simple zig-zag border.  My photo isn't nearly as good as the one in the "Designer Gallery" section of the magazine, but at least you get a sneak-peek!!

The magazine features this block PLUS 99 others!!  What a deal!  Plus, there's all sorts of helpful info - including settings & layouts - even some all-over quilting designs! 

Before you return to Quiltmaker, make sure you leave me a comment telling me which Radiant Heart you prefer.  I'll select one comment at random & that quilter will get themselves a free 100 Blocks magazine!!  If you don't happen to be selected, not to worry - go check out all the other blogs on this tour all week long for more chances.  But first, leave me a comment to get in on the goodies !!

So, what do you think? 
The ORANGE one ??  Or, the PURPLE one ??
