2016 Cloud9 New Block Blog Hop

Cloud9NewBlockBlogHopButton

Welcome to the 2016 Cloud9 New Block Blog Hop!

Cloud9 is generously sponsoring a New Block Blog Hop featuring their Organic Cirrus Solids. The blog hop hosts, Yvonne @Quilting Jetgirl, Cheryl @Meadow Mist Designs, and Stephanie @Late Night Quilter, have curated the “Berry Harvest” bundle, and Cloud9 is supplying each participant with a fat quarter bundle. Blocks made for the hop will be collected and made into quilts for donation.

Participation Guidelines

Design a new 12 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ (unfinished) quilt block
- Please use at least 3 of the colors from the palette in your block; you may use all 5 colors if you desire. Only use the fabric provided by Cloud9 (no additional fabric from your stash). We highly suggest creating a test block from your stash to make sure your instructions create a 12.5-inch square block before cutting into your bundle.
Write a tutorial for how to piece your block.
Publish your tutorial on your blog at midnight eastern on the date you are scheduled.
Ship your pieced blocks by September 16th to be sewn into quilts and donated to charity.

Yvonne @Quilting Jetgirl
Quilter | Designer | Tech Editor | Blogger

Yvonne is a former aerospace engineer turned modern quilter, designer, and technical editor. She was introduced to quilting by her paternal grandmother in high school when her grandmother offered to hand quilt a twin-size quilt to use in her college dorm room if Yvonne made the quilt top. Now, over 25 years later, Yvonne has developed a style that bridges her technical background and love of bold color, specializing in curves, transparency color play, and bold, geometric designs. Yvonne’s quilts have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and books.
