Welcome to my ninth Blog Tour for Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks!
Be sure to keep reading to the end to find out how to be entered to win today’s prize!
I’ve very excited to share my block for Vol. 14, Bettie’s Bikini (pg. 22)!
This block was inspired by pin-up model Bettie Page after I read that she made all of her own swimwear and lingerie.
While not a replica of any specific suit, this bitty bikini made in reproduction fabrics reminds me of Bettie’s signature style!
Just like all of my patterns, Bettie’s Bikini was designed in EQ7.

This block is adorable and fun.
What a fun block, as usual. You are so clever. I really enjoyed the history of the bikini altho I never felt I could wear one. They have added to the fun at the beach. What colorful blocks one could make with this one. Thanks for sharing your talents and your block!

Cute block 😊
Cute block! in the past there have been beach umbrellas, flip-flops, etc, it would be fun to add your bikini block to a beach themed quilt.
That’s a very sexy bikini you created. Would love to win the magazine.
I’ve never worn a bikini…making this block would be as close as I would ever get!
Great block. Thank you for participating in this blog hop giveaway.
You have such a great creative mind. Your block would make a great summer quilt…each bikini in different bright fabrics.
I would rather make a bikini since I can’t wear one.
what a cute block! congrats!
Very cute block!
Congrats!
You are unique and would be a fun Summer at the beach quilt. Jmikebalou (at) aol (dot) com
This would be the perfect block to use all of those 6’s and 70’s fabrics that might still be lurking in the stash. Bright neon colors would work too. Fun block. Thanks.
This reminds me of our Aunt Susie, who used to make bathing suits for her little nieces. She was truly an amazing woman.
congrats! you’re just going strong! It’s really cute, and versatile. A summer quilt, or even worked into a breast cancer quilt.

Your block is clever. What a great idea.
Very creative, unique and just down right cute!
congratulation on being part of the quiltmaker vol 14 and bloghop. Thanks for the giveaway!
Congratulations on a great block – I love it!
Very cool! Just know that these would look great with the flip flops blocks I’ve seen around the web. I foresee a lot of summer quilts being made up from this one!
What an cute block!
That is a cute idea. It would look cute in a beach themed bathroom as a wall hanging or something.
Thats such a fun block! Cute!
Love your retro bikini block and love how you used retro fabrics!
Great! You’ve finally showed me how I (yes, I!) can ‘wear’ a bikini … Just make a few of your block, and drape them over me as a quilt! Clever girl!!! Thanks. (lynnstck[at]yahoo.com
