The purple and blue were made as "mystery quilts" and took four weeks to do, getting instructions every week for four weeks. It started with the center block, woodpile blocks, 40 floating stars, and finished with the two borders, easy one and the jacobs ladder blocks. Made them about four years ago. Son in Houston, Texas owns the purple one. I sewed four tops last October, but do not have them all sandwiched yet. Pardon the mistakes, my right eye is my only eye that sees, optic nerve died in the left eye in 1999.
