What is your favorite easy block?
#32
I'm with Grace, I think the Log Cabin is my favorite too and I've made several, sold 2 and gave one as a gift. I'm now gathering material for another Log Cabin but this one will be Log Cabin Star. This pattern is in Quilter's Cache site.

I think the more praxtice I get on easier blocks the easier the harder ones will be! I love older looking quilts too.....not contempory.

my first block was the log cabin. Card tricks, honey bee.. That was the easiest for me.
I get obsessed with the corners matching. So, any stresses me..
The engineer in me.. geometry geometry.. obsession !
I do not, not ever criticize about the corners matching. not a policeman. Just a neurotic thing about myself.
I wish I could do the curves as easily as others. That is my hang up.

I absolutely love Snowball alternated with other easy blocks. Snowball and Nine Patch and Snowball and Ohio Star are lovely combinations that are not complex but give a nice movement to a quilt. Playing with matching/contrasting colors in the corners of the blocks leads to different looks.
