I looked on the Eleanor Burns website and found a book about log cabins. I checked the public library and they have the book, plus one on Underground Railroad patterns. I have a friend who is graduating from college in December, at the age of 60. She's always wanted to travel the Underground Railroad and I think she would like a quilt.
When looking at free patterns I found a Christmas stocking pattern. I made all my kids and grandkids those stockings last Christmas. Very easy pattern.
