Great colors. That bock looks like a Jacob's Ladder variation.

Sometimes you just can't make one, or four.... Way back when I began quilting I had a book of 1000 quilt block patterns. I sat on the floor with my hand crank machine on the coffee table and made 12 inch blue and white quilt blocks from the book. I ended up with enough to make a quilt for our bed. I'm sure glad I don't have to sit on the floor to sew anymore.

HaHa... back in the '70's, I thought a Quilt was just a bunch of square blocks sewn together... boy have I come along way!
I have since,,, collected a few books,, I had a ton more,, but they were to advanced and I gave them all away...
I also gave away a bunch of quilt patterns that I had collected over the years... thinking... 'some day'..
Yesterday, I went threw my remaining stash.. and weeded out some more quilt books and patterns..
I need to be realistic.. and only keep a few,, the ones I know I will use... the rest.. Bye Bye..

I'm the booksellers best friend; I'm always buying books and running out of room for them. I always donate a box or two of them to our quilt show to sell at the country store. I'm so bad that I'e been known to buy the same book twice. I used to by a lot of quilting magazines but no more as they are now full of "modern" quilts and I prefer traditional quilts with reproduction fabrics.

Beautiful, Grace!! I love hand made quilts so much! There is nothing more comforting than being wrapped up in a quilt someone special made you! I'm not much of a seamstress, wish I was. I can muster up something if I have to, but for some reason I've never had the patience, oh, and that darn bobbin tension is my biggest challenge, it gets the best of me more times than not! Such frustration!
