We had our first blog "door" prize in November and it's high time for another one! This is a block from the sampler quilt in our book, The New Applique Sampler. Becky appliqued this block (by hand, herself) for a class and it never made it into a quilt. The background is 12 1/2" x 19 1/2" and it has not been trimmed.
To enter to win this lovely door prize, leave a comment on this post. Be sure to leave your name!
On Friday (or Saturday, depending on how the week goes) we'll announce a RANDOM winner of our prize! If you post anonymously we may not be able to email you to let you know you won, so be sure to check back.
And don't forget that the deadline (March 1) for the Free Block Contest is fast approaching. We've already received some photos of completed projects and we're loving them!

It's a beauty and I would love to win it!
that is so cute. i love following your blog!
Oh Boy, would I love to win it. Been a huge fan of y'all since I first saw y'all years ago with the Christmas quilt which had a block of Santa sleeping in his bed with a patchwork quilt on Simply Quilts.
I absolutely love applique, but just don't have the personal talent (or patience). I'd love to win it and use it as the center for a pieced quilt.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Love this design. I can imagine designing a quilt around it and I'd love to win it to show you what I could do!
You do such beautiful hand applique! Judy jbechosend@sbcglobal.net
Would love to win such a beautiful block. Maybe I can see what perfection is since I've yet to try applique.
Everyone is right, it is a beautiful block and deserves to come home with me. I have hand appliqued, once. It was fun but very hard on arthritic hands. It would be much easier to win a block, don't you think?
Your work is wonderful. What a treat it would be to win it.

I would love to win this. Thank you for notifying me.
I didn't win last time, so as they say try again. I just love your work and would be honored to own a block! Thanks for the opportunity.
I love the choice of fabric and colors in the applique piece. If I happen to win the blog prize, I would display the piece in my sewing studio enabling all my applique, quilting, and sewing friends to share in the joy of a "real" Texas masterpiece.
The piece reminds me of our Texas days - snow flakes on the blooming flowers one day - sunshine on the same flowers the next. "Only in Texas" as we say - "Only in Texas".
Could I possibley win again? I wouldn't mind having a companion block.
Who would not love to win a beautiful block from Piece o Cake!!!
I've loved the shots of Hilton Head and the news about the seminar. AND the wonderful colors! And now a prize. What a way to send some cheer for those of us in cold and snow. I'd be delighted if I won that special block.

goldenoakquilts@comcast.net
beautiful block - it would look great in my home!
I love that the base of the flower is formed with a circle--a nod to quilts from the 1800's. And, I am drawn to the happiness and prettiness of Piece O'Cake designs. They are so optimistic.
Becky just taught at the Tampa, FL TAS chapter Feathered Princesses in October 2009. We voted her the best applique teacher we've had. That is quite a big honor as we have had many wonderful teachers! Becky inspired me to really turn the corner with my applique, needle turn it that is. As I worked along finishing my class piece, I was able to consult the excellent cd and book--truely invaluable resources. As a result, my class piece was finished by January. As no good deed goes unpunished, I am now leading the March Becky Continuing Ed class for the Guild. Thanks for asking me Dorthy. :0) Hey, I like being a student -- it is fun being the baby and being helped and watched over. Teaching is hard work! :))) Janet Wachter
The things that stand out:
Colour ( of course)
Crispness
I could do this
As usual, simple, but so effective and inspirational

What a great block! The colors are wonderful. Can't think of a better way to brighten one's spirits on these cold winter days by winning your block!
A stunning block! I'd love to be the winner!
The colors are beautiful. I really like the shape of the block for this flower applique. Another winner from Piece O'Cake. - Joyce
I remember, quite a few years ago, seeing you and Linda on "Simply Quilts," Alex Anderson's quilt show on HGTV. You were the first to inspire me to do applique. Now it is my passion! Thanks for your many inspiring patterns and your excellent teaching in the workshops I've taken from Becky. Having an applique block you made would be really special!
What a wonderful use of applique and color. I love it!
I am so taken by the use of color you chose in this bright & happy applique block. I'd love to add this to my Piece O Cake collection.

How fun it would be to win your block! I am new to applique, a friend is teaching me, she says your method is the best!!! She said I HAD to order the New Applique book, can't wait it is on the way!
A very beautiful block. The colors you use are so bright. Makes me feel motivated to get busy. Ruby Ridgeway
Love the Orange!!!! Count me in!!
Julia from Montreal :)
The Piece O' Cake method of appliqué has made my love for quilting a real passion (or maybe that's obsession). Goodness, there is such a fine line there... It is the perfect method for all I do!
I would love to frame this block and have it hang on my studio wall.
