I am new to the quilters board but I have been reading and looking at everyone's messages for a long time. I have never made a quilt without tieing them off with yarn. I am wanting to make my sister a purple quilt with a very, very simple pattern. I can not use small pieces. I have arthritis and they do not work for me. I would really like something with a pattern size of 8" block (single). I would appreciate anyone's help. I would really like to surprise her with it. She absolutely loves purple. I thank everyone for there great patterns and their help. Lura George from Indiana
