Day One is here!
I am excited to kick off the blog tour for Cultural Fusion Quilts. After two and half years of working on it, now I get to share all the quilts and explain my point of view on quilting. Each day, I will be posting a quilt from the book or things that inspire me. Don't forget to come visit me while the tour is on.
I am really fortunate to have such great authors, designers hosting the tour. Honestly, I am quite curious to hear what they will have to say about my book. So I will be hopping from blog to blog along with you all.
Each blogger will accept the comments for five days before picking the winner at random.org
Please make sure that you are not a no-reply blogger. We need to be able to reach you if you win.The host will contact you for your address so that C&T publishing can mail you a copy of the book. If you live outside the U.S. you will receive an e-book. So do not hesitate to leave a comment.
First stop is C&T Publishing. So head on over there for your chance for today to win the book.
Oh and one more thing!
I made this quilt as a gift to celebrate the blog tour. I will do a bit more of hand stitching on it today and sign it when it's finished. Please leave a comment if you would like to win it.
In your comment, let me know what is the first thing you noticed when you saw it.

The first thing I noticed was the color - pink and green! So cheerful, I really did literally smile. Then I noticed the lovely multi-colored, cross hatched fabric in the center square - scrumptious :) I actually have started following you because Exuberant Color is making the quilt that is on the front of your book. It is such a great quilt! Congratulations on your book being published and out in the world! Exciting times! Good luck with it - I know I want to rush out and buy it! Magistra13 at yahoo dot com

ReplyDeleteYour book is FABULOUS!
Congrats on your new book. The first thing I noticed was pink. The hourglass blocks are a visual delight.
ReplyDeleteHi Sujata! I love the book, and am having a lot of fun making blocks. What I first noticed about this one is that you have more than one block and it creates a lovely medallion effect.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I noticed was the center pinwheel. Love the fabric. Thanks for the giveaway! Having been following your blog a while now, and really enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. First thing I noticed was the wonky hourglass blocks. Like!
ReplyDeleteMy eyes jumped to the fabric in the center...and then my mouth began to water. Luscious!
ReplyDeleteI first noticed a central black "flower" surrounded by a garden in Spring!
ReplyDeleteC&T post is still not there for me, just have to wait for a few hours probably!
Amitiés de France,
Katell
First I noticed the hot pink of the hourglass blocks, then the dark fabric in the center, and then back to the blocks, noticing how they went "two ways" the color placement of the pink changed. It's beautiful, happy and fun! I would love to win it, and a copy of your book. Thank you so much. sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeletePink & green like the Franciscan Desert Rose dishes I inherited from my grandmother. It's my favorite color combination because it reminds me of her.
ReplyDeleteI'm probably not eligible to win, but I noticed the fun fabric in the center!
ReplyDeleteI noticed the pink - especially the top left block!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I noticed was that great print in the center! I already have your book, but I will be following the blog hop cause I love the quilters who are participating!

ReplyDeleteYour book is on my Christmas list! The first thing I noticed was the lime green blocks. It's such a fun little mini.:)

ReplyDeleteMyrto
Hi! The first thing I noticed was that it was BRIGHT BRIGHT which I love and then I noticed that the points of the triangles did not exactly meet ...especially the one in the upper left hand corner. Then I could see all the freedom in the quilt which made it seem all relaxed and friendly. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI noticed the beautiful fabric in the middle first.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. The magenta in the top left just POPS before moving around to the centre. Just beautiful.

ReplyDeleteNow I'm off to see the other blogs.
I noticed the beautiful pink.
ReplyDeleteThe lovely colours stand out. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI saw the block as a whole! Like a pretty lotus pool in the morning...I love the greens and the pinks of course, but what I like best is how it comes together as an idea.
ReplyDeleteI noticed how happy the quilt made me. Must be the pink and green combination. Bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteThe pink and green outer blocks grabbed me. and then I saw the center block. wow. Doing free form piecing must be SO liberating-- Want to give it a try as soon as I finish grading the final papers this weekend. I NEED to be doing some happy joyful piecing. Your quilts are so inspiring.
