Schoolhouse Rocks!
Hi all! My Schoolhouse Rocks quilt made it home, and we made it outside for some pictures yesterday! I had fun working on this quilt, it’s bright and cherry, with traditional blocks, and lots of quilting on my domestic machine.
All the schoolhouse blocks are made with a different fabric, I pulled small and medium scale prints in a rainbow of colors from my stash. Each block I worked on was a new favorite! I think a teacher would love this quilt with student signatures in the background fabric.
To make your own version, check out Generation Q’s Fall Issue.
The full pattern is included in the magazine, and the whole issue is inspiring and a great read!
I have a copy of Generation Q to giveaway – to win leave me a comment, telling me your favorite traditional block.
I’ll update the post with a winner on Friday, August 31, 2012.
Good Luck!
- Amy

Such a fun quilt, Amy! My favourite traditional pattern is the Irish Chain (not much of a block person). Thanks for the give-away!
I am looking at a log cabin design right now, one that is from the south, very interesting!
Great houses! My first quilt was houses!
I love flying geese!
So cute – I love the way it came together – the blues really set it off.
i absolutely love weathervane (and double x)!! your quilt is lovely!!
I am not sure exactly why I am drawn to it, but I have been loving the Churn Dash block lately. Love your quilt – such great movement because of the chains and the roof pattern. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine :-)
Great quilt! Sawtooth Star is a favorite. There are so many ways you can use it!
My favorite has always been the log cabin but lately I’ve been drawn to and made several quilts using a snowball block. It’s great for showing off dramatic fabrics or changes in values.
my favourite one ist the sawtooth star, but i love other stars,too
thanks for the chance to win
Lovely quilt! My favorite is the double wedding ring!
What a great quilt, and oh so appropriate for this back-to-school time of year. My favorite traditional block is courthouse steps.
Your quilt is SO sweet~

Amy love your schoolhouse quilt! I really like the fan block. It can be arranged so many ways and I think it is kind of girly and old fashioned.

Ooop forgot to tell my fav traditional block… Having grown up in Ohio my all time favorite traditional block is the Ohio Star.
My favorite traditional block is Pineapple. Need to finish a project of paper pieced blocks.
Great quilt! My favorite traditional quilt block is the Ohio Star.
I’ve just begun quilting so I don’t have a favorite yet, I’m still learning!
What a neat quilt! I like the pinwheel block as it’s just fun to make.
love those houses!
I love your quilt! I’m hooked on flying geese right now, just finished using them in a border!
I have made a lot of traditional block quilts and loved them all, but I think the log cabin is my favorite. It was my first quilt ever.
I really like the 9 patch block.
This quilt looks great! I have to say my favorite traditional block has to be the log cabin. Depending on the colors it can look so different each time I make it.
Ummm – traditional block? What’s that? I’m a modern gal, but I do base a lot of stuff on the good old Log Cabin square.
I love your schoolhouses! My favorite traditional block would be the HST.
I like the striped fabric for the roofs. My favorite traditional block is probably the string block. It still looks so modern to me and it uses scraps! Total win-win. :)
My favourite block is the Dutchman’s puzzle block but I like it when the inner triangles are not a different fabric to the outer. I don’t want to see the spinner, I want to see the the arrows. Does that make sense?
I don’t know if it’s traditional but I like the simple HST do versatile and can be used in sew many ways! Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite traditional block is the Shoo Fly block. It’s the first block I learned to make when I was 11.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Love any star pattern. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite block has to be any kind of star. I love your quilt. My daughter is a teacher…she would love this. Thank you!

Your Quilt is Great! Love it!!
There are so many traditional blocks that are lovely. But it seems that the Log Cabin block which includes so many variations would be my favorite.
My favorite block is Old Maid’s Puzzle. I saw it used in a two color quilt and fell in love with it.
Hi Amy. I love this quilt..it looks brilliant! I have to say that even though I’m new to the quilting game I probably have a soft spot for flying geese …. I even blogged about it! Check it out if you have time http://onethousandlayers.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/who-gives-a-flying-geese/
Bright, brilliant quilt! My favorite block is a block…add a bunch of them together and you get a quilt. Easy!
A great quilt and a catchy tune stuck in my head! Awesome!
I like pinwheel blocks most at the moment :)
How beautiful! I love how cheery it is. I’m beyond indecisive, so let’s go with double wedding ring.
My favorite traditional block is the versatile nine patch. Great quilt!
I love log cabin quilts. There is so much you can do with them. Thanks for a chance to win.
oh, this is so fun! i’m so impressed that you’ve managed to make a gorgeous schoolhouse block quilt! i’ve only ever seen them done in dreary colours, and the difference is amazing!
my favourite traditional block seems to vary, but lately i have been super into churndash. a friend chose it for a bee she’s in, and her bright cheerful blocks inspired me so much!
I like stars of all kinds especially a star in a star. No idea what the name of that would be traditionally though. I do like the traditional over the wonky.
