Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 4 hits the stands soon (November 15)- Woo Hoo! This is a fun issue- I got a sneak peek and there are some really great designs.
Last week I showed you a teeny tiny photo of the cover with my block on it. Here is a better photo of my block:
Soooooo...... I was wondering what would happen if we added another color to the palette, like, say, green. Pink, green and brown: sounds like Spumoni to me. So here is what the Spumoni blocks would look like:
There is now a digital version for Volumes 1 and 2- isn't that cool?
And guess what? I have a 3 copies of Volume 4 to give away. To enter, leave a comment here and tell me what is your favorite color palette-pastels, brights, primitive, or something else?? Comment by midnight Eastern time on Friday night (November 11). Make sure I can contact you through your Blogger or Google account or email. Winner will be drawn randomly.

Another great quiltmakers 100 blocks :) My favorite palette right now is light green, pink and cream/white backgrounds. Working on a new tablerunner for myself and I love the colours I have chosen.
Love the colors in your block. Pink and brown is one of my favorite combinations. Right now I am also liking nuetral quilts with not a lot of contrast.
Love your block Jacquelynne....and I really love it with the green in it. Awesome and I would love to win one of the books as it would be so very useful. I am enjoying florals and lots of dots at the moment but really love all kinds.Actually so long as it has green somewhere I will love it! Hugs Vicki x
Amazing what a difference adding a colour makes.
I tend to lean towards country or florals but at the moment I'm working with bright hand dyeds and it's different!
My favourite colours at the moment are peach and green or pink and green, or anything Fig Tree!
I guess my favourite palette would be brights and fresh fabrics, my fav colour is purple!
At the moment I'm into brights, really saturated colours. I'm especially hooked on orange.
Wow I just LOVE your pattern... I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win a copy of 100 blocks...... Please, Please, Please.. I always told my kids to say "Please"...
My favourite colours are brights.....
Blessings...
Sandyn
Love your block very much! Great possibilities! I love country style very much, but use actually all kind of different styles. Just scrappy!
I love the different lay-outs of your block. My favourite colour palate at the moment is red!
I love this block.
My favourite colour palette is brights, especially purple, green, silver/grey and blue.
I love these blocks. My favorite palette is bright. Hugs Jofrid
Love that block! You're color choices are great and really pop against the white. Can't wait till that issue comes out. I've worn last years out!
My color choices generally involve clear, bright colors. Lately I'm using lots of aqua, lime green and yellow.
Although I LOVE other color combinations my eyes always wander over to the historical and primitive colors. I love the comfort that these colors bring to my soul!

I've been using orange fabrics alot lately, especially with blues. Love your block. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love your block! My fabric is anything with turquoise in it I love turquoise! Thanks
I always have the hardest time choosing limiting colors to a simple palette. I try, but always end up with a full spectrum rainbow of color and patterns! :)
Thanks for the giveaway.

I love to use bright colors especially the primary and secondary ones.
Love your block! Your color selection is perfect!
My favorite palette is shabby chic. I love soft, romantic colors in traditional blocks.
Congrats on your block - i love it! thanks and I am into batiks right now! in autumn colors espeically!
I tend to like brights, loved your Spumoni
I love all kinds of blues combined with white/neutrals, maybe with a little red thrown in.
I love the secondary pattern that your block creates. It is hard to choose which color scheme I like best because I try to vary my quilts depending on who will receive them...I would love to be in your drawing for 100 Blocks. Thanks
I like your block!! The colors are right up my alley!! he he Thank you for the giveaway!!
Brights! But your lovely block inspires me to go get out of the box!
Love the block - I just finished a kaleidoscope quilt and was amazed how easy those shapes were to work with. I really liked all the layouts you showed. My favorite palette with the winter months coming is dark fabrics - navy, hunter green, gold, russet red. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
My palate varies with my mood, the season, the pattern..... I'm all over the place. I have sections of brights, primitives, solids, funky, sedate.....truly all over the place!
Thank you for such a generous give away!
Jewel tones are my favorites today! I love so many color combinations, my favs change frequently!
My favorite colors to work with are the earth tones/fall palette (red, orange, gold, brown, etc.) The trees here are at their peak right now and dizzying in their colors!
I would have to say that my favorite colorway is primitive, at the present time. But, this changes over time. Hard to say what I will like in 5 years. Thanks for sharing your block with us and some design ideas and the chance to win.
What a great block. I love the 30's colors. This block would work so well.
wow! look at all the quilts you could make with your great block. So cool!
My favorite color palette is primitive but I love working in all colors.
Such a great block with so many different choices. I love your colors because these are my colors that I love. I would love a chance to win a copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 4 for myself. I just see so many different blocks that catches my eye that I want to quilt now.
Sandi
Your block is beautiful!! I loved the previous issues of 100 Blocks, and the new one looks just as great! Can't wait to see it.
I love any combination of color with white as a contrast.
Favorite color combo is red black and white or anything with yellow, especially yellow's and blue's
My favorite palette right now is working with reproduction fabrics. Although I change depending on the quilt that I want to make. Like your block. Thanks for a chance to win.
I love the ice cream reference to your blocks. I've seen that type of block before but not done in strings and I love it! Your placement options really opened up the possibilities! Colors at the moment are blue and green. I think I need a trip to a warm beach.
Right now I would pick a primitive palette. I love the grayed color ways. I love what happened to your palette when you added the pistachio green.
Love your block and all the settings for a quilt. Thanks for the chance at winning a copy of the magazine. Hugs
Love your block!!! I tend to switch between warm colors and bright modern prints. Right now, I'm just loving purples, like eggplant etc!!
More than a color palette I just love batiks. I like pastel ones or neutral ones, but I am most often drawn to bright ones. I sometimes refer to myself as a batik snob! I love your block and all the potential it has for amazing quilting when put into a top. Thanks for the chance to win!
Is one of those designs that a lot of different color combos would look lovely.
I prefer the Neapolitan though.
My favorite color palette is BRIGHTS!!!! The happier and brighter the colors are the better I like it. I love blues and purples together with a touch of sunny yellow!
Lime green is my current favorite, so your quilt design with the lime border is very cool for me!
thanks!
I love string quilts and this is awesome... and such interesting settings... thank you
Oh, my! This is one block that I will have to make. I love the different settings and the illusions created! My favorite color choices tend to vary with the seasons...right now I am into the fall colors. Give me a couple weeks and it will be all Christmas colors!
I'm drawn to primitives but I almost always make bright quilts as I sew for World of Charity Stitching. I like to give bright, cheerful quilts to the nursing home we donate to. Brightens their day!
I seem to gravitate toward the Civil WAr repo's or primitive's most of the time but once in a while it's fun to sew with some really bright and gawdy fabrics, especially for children.
Oh, I LOVE this block!!! I thank you for providing tons of different patterns one can make from this block alone.
I have a few favourite colour combos but I guess my fav at the moment is black/white and turquoise. Thanks!
Really nice variation of how the block can fit together!
I love chocolate and pink together, especially batiks and civil wars - I know, opposite sides of the spectrum. Love your block...thank you for contributing and showing different settings.
I just love your block!! I like string piecing in general, but your block is just great!
I just love this block - can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the issue so I can get going!
Fun options with your block! I like jewel tones best.
Neopolitain and Supomoni are my all-time favorite ice cream flavors! What a great way to make use of those scraps we always seem to have.
Oh my gosh! I'm supposed to pick a favorite color pallet? Well, I just finished a civil war quilt top; I have 3 college quilts in the making; and I'm putting together some depression era blocks. Needless to say, that is a variety of colors. So I guess you could say all of them because whatever I'm working on at the moment is my favorite color pallet.
Wonderful block...and so much fun. I love brights, pastels, jewel tones...the possibilities are endless!
Looking forward to seeing the volume 4 issue!
Very pretty! I keep going back to blue, green, white with yellow touches.
I am always attracted to dark, rich colors like navy, burgandy, hunter green, and walnut brown. But I really like the colors in the neopolitan colorway of your block. I may have to start expanding my color horizons!
Awesome block! It looks great in your bright colors. I usually pick something with red/wht/blue. But can see where the brights might work better for this.
I love dark rich colours mixed with earth tones, mainly in batik fabrics.
I really like all the layout options your block provides and that you can highlight any color palette.
I was born with a natural tendancy toward dark colors. I really like the Civil War fabrics because of that.
Your block has soooo much potential. I enjoyed looking at the variety of settings that you posted.

My favorite colors are brights. I love your blog. Thanks for sharing.
After years of liking the darker colors--everything a little muddy or grayed--I'm now drawn to "clears". It coincides with an infatuation with Kona cottons, so perhaps that makes sense.
Congrats on being included and thanks for showing all the different variations. I love that.
BRIGHTS! Although I've been dabbling a bit into reproduction fabrics lately. Contratulations in being selected for the cover. Your block probably goes together real quick as its made with strings. Such a creative way of using up scraps. I'd have to say the Spumoni version, 1st layout is my favorite. 1st I just finished a pink quilt so I'd need some help from my green strips and the border finishes off the design perfectly! Thanks for a chance to win. Sandi
Jacquelynne, I really love your creativity and commitment to the Lord. I also love jewel-tones for a color palette. Thank you for cluing us in to the hops coming up! Blessings, Kd ~ www.KdQuilts.com
Love seeing all the different setting options with your block. My favorite color palette is blues--many shades of blue. Thanks for the chance to win!
Wonderful block--so versatile. I prefer brights on one end of the spectrum, and earth tones on the other. With some black, white, and red thrown in! Congratulations.
I love pastels and neutrals, colors that are soft and restful to add calm to a busy life.
Love the block - as I have never done any string blocks...and if I look at it as just one block...it might happen...but then again, I love all the quilt setting that you've done. Drat. And you want me to actually choose a favorite color combination? Really? How about a favorite color - that would be coral...so with brown, or with green, or with gold, or with blue...
My current favorite palette is gold, orange, yellow, brown, with a dash of turquoise.
I love brights!
I like brights for myself and the more contrast the better.
Love your block and your color options are a hoot-add green and get spamoni! lOL
Bev Gunn
I am a bright color person,,,,love your block my favorite,,,,,
I like pastels - actually country pastels scarlette, shobbs@vcu.edu
I like the palette of medium brights I think..a little fiesty punch with colour but not a "knock out" blow. The trick for me to keep it all in balance!
Sue at bbr10629@netzero.com I realy like a bright vivid palette,but that doesn't always work with the project. I like using strip piecing and your block looks like it will a fun one to piece, also like to wide variety of setting that give so many different looks to the same basic block.
I love your block. So many ways to use it. Thanks for sharing it with us. My pallet? soft pastels.
Wonderful block - my favorite color palette right now is green, brown, yellow, black - like Origins by Basic Grey. Hoping that Kansas Star will accept my comment too as it has not been doing such lately. Would be delighted to win a copy of your book. Thanks for the giveaway.
My tastes change with the seasons. Today I like Primitives, but I also love brights and pastels. Thanks for the giveaway!
Your block is so pretty! I love just about any color palette, but right now, brights are the in-thing with me. Thanks for the giveaway!
Great block! Right now my color palette is anything with gray. I just love all the new fabric lines that incorporate gray as a neutral.
I have seen a lot of string type quilts in the past months and like them quite a bit. I love the brights the best, especially the oranges and yellows.
Please, please, please, please, pick me!!!!, I'm jumping all aroud the place, love your block and defitinely I'd give a try in country colors, which I love!!!!
Love your block! i tend to gravitate toward autumn/CW colors. I'm trying to expand my stash. LOL Thanks for the fun!
Great block - looks like a good stashbuster!! I tend toward a fall palette, although I'm trying to branch out from that!
I love bright pastels and love your block and all the layouts you showed using it. Would love to win
this magazine so I can make it.
I like brights, I make a lot of children's quilts so I use all colors in brights. Thanks.
Very neat block...Me - I like brights...
nhsarab at yahoo dot com
very nice block-lots of fun. I like pastels and primitives
Great block!
I like brights
Blogger ate my comment twice! Really like your block and my most recent color combo is yellow, green , brown, and black - think Origins by basicgrey
Beautiful block and beautiful colors! I always thought my favorite palette was pastels but I see a lot of brights in my stash!
i like brights, but i also like old fashioned calico type prints. i'm not picky!
You had me at "neapolitan" hehe. Love your blocks and loving the pinks and browns lately. Also the aqua and red. I've been sewing with more folk colors in the past, like Thimbleberries but lately I've been stepping out of my color box.
Thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win. Love to win your book as well.

What a great versatile block. I too thought of icecream as soon as I saw it.
My favorite is blues, blues, and more blues. It varies on what I like with it, but currently white, cream, and browns.
What a great block! Super way to use up scraps, although I love the neapolitan colors you used. Primitives and deep fall colors are my favorite.
Love your block & your ice cream colors make it so fun! I love bright colors in a quilt so I'd probably make your block in M&M ice cream flavors! thanks for the chance to win Vol 4
I really like your block, and can't wait to make it. I love prmitive color palettes. But I also love cool blues and greens, those that would remind a person of the ocean.
Your block is so sweet! I'm drawn to the colors you chose but tend to decorate my home primitive or civil war...you know, Old antique sort of colors. Call me drab! LOL
I love your block. It's got some space for some beautiful quilting designs. I don't think I have a favorite color palette. It changes on a whim for me!
My favorite color palate is scraps-light, dark and medium. I've leared a lot about color by making scrap quilts. I'd love to try your block with my scraps.
I normally love the civil war type traditional color palettes, but currently am working on a quilt for granddaughter that is in pinks and browns. So, I was especially interested in your block with the same colors, esp. since I'll need to make another pink and brown for her twin sister! I'm also a scrap piecer, so your block fit my favorite way of piecing quilts--making do with scraps and strings!
I like pastels, but with something darker or brighter to make the design pop.
Thanks for the opportunity to get some free inspiration!
My favorite colorway seems to be earth tones - greens, browns, etc.
I am Candy Soehren at cls47@prodigy.net.
I love your block and I love the colour scheme you have used - strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. Yummy and chic
I think your block is really cool! I also dig the way you related the colors to food...way to go, lol. My favorite color pallet is jewel tones and specifically batiks. They really get the imagination going :o)
thanks for the giveaway.
First, I love Neapolitan ice cream. Second, my favorite pallet is the whole spectrum. Right now it's autumn colors, but soon it will be Christmas colors. It changes with the seasons and holidays.
I like the colors you chose for your block. My favorite colors are blues and yellow, but lately I've been drawn to red and aqua and other brights.
Lovely block. Congrats for being included in the magazine.
I love jewel tones the best...although right now I can't seem to get enough aqua colored fabrics! :)
Very pretty block. I'm not sure that I have a favorite palette. I love color and that means that it depends what catches my eye.
Your block is great! My favorite color palatte would be (for lack of a better description) fall colors / earth tones. Thanks so much for the chance to win! Judy W
Love your block! The colors are great, too! Pink is my favorite color and I love the brown with it.
I love pastels, guess that is why I love the 30's repros, too!
Sandy A
Beautiful block! My favorite color palette is jewel tone. Tamsyn
I love the colors in your cute block. I really like working with bright colors. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine.
Great block! Love the Spumoni idea! I think my favorite color palate is anything with pink. lol
Thanks for showing the different settings! I love quilts that show that secondary pattern in the negative space.
I'm kind of a scrappy type gal. I like your block. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of this magazine.
I love pastels, but am also partial to cool colors.
You are making me hungry with these ice cream inspired colors! I am all over the place on my colors - use a lot of orange but a lot depends on the recipient and the season and how the fabric calls me.
Neopolitan--my favorite. lol I love brights!!
Your block has so much potential - scrappy or controlled colors - the sky's the limit!
I make quilts for children and my favorites are to mix bright crayola crayon solid colors with bright kid's novelty prints. Thanks for the opportunity to win a book!
I love all colors in a quilt so I guess my pallet is scrappy. Your block is wonderful. I have made something similar using scraps and it works well that way too. I also love the secondary "star" that is created. Would love to win a copy to try your version. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Love your scrappy block....so cute!
My mom says she likes Blue, brown, gold or orange. Love to see what each designer creates. Thanks for the chance to win.
Great names for your blocks. I really love the Neopolitin but adding the green into that is awesome looking too.
I really am not picky and like all color palettes but I am drawn more to the bright colors lately. I LOVE Red and Aqua especially.
A wonderful block that can be done in different styles, love being able to change them with fabric choices. I love primitive style, but I also love art quilting too, so it depends on my mood.
Debbie
Wow, amazing how many different looks your one block can make.
I am partial to country colors that are found in the Kansas Troubles lines.
Love the block. I love earthy colors but also would love to make a black and white quilt too.
Great block. Really does look like ice cream colors. lol. I'm a new quilter so right now I'm using bright colors. There is just so many gorgeous fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway.
missmoozie(at)gmail(dot)com
Congratulations on making the cover.I usually stick with more earthy/neutral shades.
My go to palette is anything in the Civil War repro line. then it's bright pink and lime green.
Great block! Such interesting design possibilities.
Thanks for the chance to win extras.
Oh pick me.
mhinders@myclearwave.net
So many possible variations. I think I prefer a bold colors palette--hot pink, acid green, electric blue, vibrant yellow, etc. maybe with black and/or white.
I like brights in a kaleidoscope of colors. Thank you for the giveaway.
I love brights!! Most of my color combo's are in a rainbow color way. I just like the look, it is so happy! I love your block. I can see it in many color combos.
I love brights and your spumoni fits right in with them. Love it.
i'd have to say brights, i guess; my old eyes have unripe cataract now and it's easy to see brights. used to love tonals ... shades of one tone of a color - any green! moss, clover,jade.
thanx for the opportunity to win a copy!
I don't think I could pick just one color palette. Right now I am using a pink, purple and blue color palette in pastel for some quilt blocks I am working on. I have also used bright batiks in greens, purples, turquoises,and blue a couple months ago and loved that so I really can't say what my favorite is. I love colors of all different shades, tones and brightness and could probably never come up with one palette that was my all time favorite.
my favorite color has always been :scrappy:
I have been saving 1 inch scraps to make a scrappy version, I love your last layout, now i have something to aim for. cw
I love the designs that appear when your block is put together in a quilt. Just fabulous! I go for brights just about every time.... can't help it.
Brights are my colour choice. The designs on the cover look great.
lyn.robyn.smith@gmail.com
Just the addition of that green fabric really made the block and quilt sing!
I love bright colors, especially against white. And I love the scrappy look of your blocks too.
I love purples, jewel tones, and brown and pink combos!
I like to stir my Neopolitan ice cream up into one flavor...YUMMY stuff! Congrats on being on the cover!
My dad always used to "chop, mash & stir" my Neopolitan ice-cream and it was just like a flavoured Mr Whippy!! Am loving purples, oranges and lime greens at the moment!!
I love brights at the moment. I seem to change every once in awhile:)
Love your block! This is a block that I can see making! I'd like to use cool tones like blue, grey, bluish white.
Very smart, versatile block! Primitives are my FAV!
I love your block! What a great name for it, Perfect! Congrats on being in the 100 Block issue!
I love quite a few different types of colors combinations. I love the Civil War look, 30s, batiks, muted country, brights and clear modern prints. It just depends on the quilt and the mood I'm in.
I love your quilt design. String quilts are awesome.
Congratulations on your block, and I love seeing how it can be utilized. I waffle between primitives and brights, but the primitives usually win. I have some of your Sewing Social, and it's so different from my usual palette that I love it!
Congratulations on being selected to be in 100 Blocks! This block is wonderful!! I love it every way that you have shown it. I would love to win the magazine - but truthfully I can's say I have a favorite color combo. They are all so pretty. So I'll say blue and yellow, until I change my mind, which will be in 10 seconds! LOL!!
I like the primitive earthy colors and the lavenders as well. So many comments but there is always hope.
Love your block.
I love brights...they are so cheerful to me! They brighten my day even when things seem grey and gloomy. I grew up in a home where the walls were white and everything was drab. It seemed lifeless. This may be why I am so drawn to color now! :-) It is amazing to me how color can affect your mood or even emotions.
Why is it that someone can look ravishing in neutrals, where I look dead in them?! Color can do amazing things, can't it?!
Love your Spumoni quilts! Ice cream fixes everything!
Wow another killer block this is a great tour! I really like bright in your face colors that just jump right at you.
I love string blocks, but I had no idea there could be so many setting possibilities! I am planning a version with blues and tans.
Karen in Breezy Point
I love those kaleidoscope blocks!! Any color combination looks great! Brights or antique-y looking fabrics are generally my favorite, though!! I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of 100 Blocks!!
I love your block and thanks for showing all the different combinations for layout! Very cool! Brights are my favorite for quilts! Thanks for a chance to win! :)
Love your block :D
of late, I love the Pink and Green color palette!
Thanks for the chance!
my color preference depends on my mood and who the quilt is for- i have done a bit of everything...
Congrats on your wonderful block!!! Thank you for showing up different options in its layout and design. How awesome! Also a quick kudos on your Designer of the Month!! Talk about being busy!! Favorite palette is browns, tans, and dark browns...anything that will remind me remotely of chocolate!!!
