I LOVE Carol Doak's book and instructions. Took a class years ago on PPing and threw away the block I never completed. Finally got Carol's book, tried it again and it was SO much easier! Her instructions and hints made the biggest difference.

is this the thread you were referring too?

Carol has 50 blocks, and gave them State names, but I have not seen anything about any of the blocks that indicates the design or colors actually mean anything. It was just cute way to name 50 blocks.
I'd love to see a set of state blocks that were connected to the state in some way - either design element or color.

Thanks so much Macybaby!!!! Now I understand what it's about. Her star blocks are named after states!! I hand embroidered the state flowers one time and made a quilt. It was a very long process. LOL I won't say exactly how long....but from start to finish it was over 20 years. Of course I didn't work on it all the time. Just a few blocks here and a few blocks there.

I am very pleased with the results and one suggestion I have is to have the book spiral bound -
the book then lies nice and flat - for tracing the patterns.

I hope this poster sees this (it's 2020). I have the older cd and a Windows 10 computer during the virus lockdown and really wanted to finish a lap quilt I had used two of Carol Doak's patterns for. Couldn't get it to work and finally googled my problem and this site showed up. Thank you, it worked! I really appreciate you taking the time to post your solution!
