Welcome to The Whimsical Workshop on the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Blog Tour



Hello and welcome.
We are so excited to to be a part of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour once again. If you leave a comment today with your email address, we will be giving away several copies of Quiltmakers 100 Blocks magazine which is hitting newstands on 5/10/11 to our lucky readers.

Do not worry if you don't win,  we have copies of the magazine available for sale on our website www.thewhimsicalworkshop.com

Ducks in a Row- Fabric Kits available
If you have not guessed yet, our block was this cute little rubber duckie. I designed a simple crib quilt using our duckie block shown above as an example of what you can do with the block. The setting instructions are available FREE on our website. PLEASE note you need the magazine for the actual duck templates. I would love to see any quilts made with our block and if you would like we will add your quilt to our "Bragging Rights" page on our website, where we like to showcase our customer's quilts.

We have a limited number of fabric kits that include the fabrics as shown for the quilt top and binding along with a copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks magazine and our instructions to make the "Ducks in a Row" quilt for $54.95 for sale on our website.

Make sure to check out all the other great designer's blogs on the tour. For a complete list go to http://www.quiltmaker.com/100blocks.html
