Laura Aaron Hind quilt books have challenged me. I started with a wonderful group on QB with The farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt, followed by Pony Club, followed by Farmer's Wife 1930, and now I am doing her Bible Sampler six and one half blocks. I never knew how many ways a square could be divided into with 45-65 pieces or sewn so many Y seams. Accuracy is a must. Then I make it harder by telling a story with each block, relating back to its name or childhood stories, especially the Pony Club. I included our shetland ponies pictures, my riding mare with our two daughters on her, my brother's spotted horses and SIL's Irish Mare raced in England and sold by a Colorado owner to her. It is slow work, but worth the challenge to me. Some of it is paper piecing.
