I started embroidering 12" blocks of muslin and turning them into quilts. Then I started on the pieced blocks. I still love the Samplers the best. I am working on one now with 48 blocks that I have NEVER tried before. Am having trouble already with "Lady of the Lake - II" If it doesn't work out, I'll just go to another one and at the end, I'll go back to the Lady and maybe it will work. I keep copies of the patterns and note each one with date made, what for and if there were any problems. I am not that keen on the art ones. I love the old fashioned quilts. But then, you never know. I just might try one and find I love it and go on a new adventure. Edie
