I made a wall hanging from this book a number of years ago and it hangs in my office. It's getting a little faded since I have a corner office with two walls made entirely of glass but I still love it. I had the idea to make a FLW window quilt long before Jackie Robinson's book and bought a number of FLW design books intending to draft my own pattern eventually. Just never got to it.

I was in Buffalo visiting my aunt and I found Jackie's book in a quilt shop. Since Buffalo was where I was born, I chose to make the window from the Heath House, a FLW house in Buffalo. If you look close, you will see mistakes but it was worth all the pain. Yours will be too. I can't wait to see the finished quilt.
