My good friend Gudrun Erla of GE Designs is celebrating 10 years of designing quilts, fabric & more! She is having 10 days of giveaways to celebrate this great accomplishment.
One of my favorite books by Gudrun is Big Blocks, Big Style.
Gudrun is also a fan of 60° Triangles like I am. You could use the Hex N More or the Sidekick to make some of the quilts in her book. For projects that require a larger 60° Triangle I suggest the Creative Grids 12" Finished 60° Triangle Ruler.
Here are a few quilts from Big Blocks, Big Style.
Here are a few quilts from Big Blocks, Big Style.
This first quilt is Easy Hex. Gudrun taught this as a class when we in Portland together back in March. Some of her students had been in my Hex N More class the day before & figured out a way to use the Hex N More for this quilt!
Another great hexagon project is Easy Hex Split.
And of course I love Kite Runner since it features Prince Charming by Tula Pink!
Gudrun's newest fabric line, Nordic Visions.
Ready for the giveaway??
One lucky reader will win a copy of Big Blocks, Big Style and a Fat Quarter pack of Gudrun's newest fabric line, Nordic Visions.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 275 of 275Thank you for a fantastic give away! I love those fabrics and as I don't have many quilting books, I would make something from her book.

Great book and fabric! I'd probably make a table runner or a hand bag.
If I win, I think I'll use my Hex n More ruler and make a lap quilt to snuggle under when the weather gets cooler!
Thanks for the chance to win, ladies..
If I were fortunate enough to win, I would love to use this lovely new line of fabric to make a new Christmas tablerunner. I know I would find many other things to make in her book.
I will make cushions for my lounge. Thanks for the giveaway.

That fabric and the hexie split pattern would make a fabulous table topper for my kitchen table!
I really like that Kite Runner pattern. I would put the FQs towards that quilt.
Love that fabric! The book looks like there are alot of things in it I would actually do/make:) if I won the fabric,I think I would make the easy hex pattern ....Then get up and do Gudruns exercise video I saw on You tube from Quilt Market. What a hoot!

I would use them to make a bed runner. We have a dog and a cat that sleep with us and I love the idea of a bed runner to keep some of the dog hair off the bed spread. The dog sleeps at the foot of the bed. The cat hair on the other hand will be deposited wherever the cat chooses. 'cause that's how cats are. ;)
I would use the fabric to make the easy hex split table topper for my Thanksgiving table! Beautiful!
I'd like to use it in a log cabin design quilt! Thanks for a great giveaway.

I love those "big block" quilts and would love to make one if I won the fabrics. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would want to make Julie's new Seaside table runner using the new SideKick. It would be SO fun to get new fabric and use the new ruler!!!
I would want to showcase the large print in some way --- possibly in an attic window quilt, centered in a square in a square or in a hexagon. I have to admit, I haven't tried a hexie quilt yet ---this might be the nudge I need.
Lovely fabric giveaway...I would make an Easy Hex with the fabric. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the fabrics and the book looks so interesting. I've never tried big blocks.

Love the quilts from this book. I think I would make a Christmassy quilt, maybe the hexy one.
I would use the fabric to make Charm Shuffle although I do love the easy hex split.
Some of these patterns remind me of the Scandinavian sweaters my mom made. I think the fabric will make a gorgeous "sweater theme" quilt.
These fabrics would make a fantastic quilt!

I think that fabric would look terrific in a Christmas quilt, which is a project I've been promising myself I'd start SOON! :)

The Nordic Vision line would be stunning with the star quilt on the cover. My daughter wants a red quilt, not all red but as the primary quilt. Thanks.
I really like the first quilt on the dark blue/black background but not sure the fabric suits that design. I might have a look at some old knitting patterns and try one of those as a quilt.

I would use these great fabrics with Kite Runner. I wanted to try 60 degree triangles for a while now.
