Hi all. I'm new here, from UK. I'm fairly new to quilting, having only made a 'practice' quilt comprising solely of assorted 2" squares. I would really love to make a quilt for my young daughter (which will hopefully become an heirloom). I have seen this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=350190000202

I would love to make a sampler quilt using the same squares as this lady has (but in pink/whites) however I have no idea what the names of the blocks she has used are. Could anyone kindly help me identify them so as I can start to hunt down the patterns for them?

Many thanks for any help.

If you go to quilterscache there are lots of blocks there. It might take some searching to find those exact ones, but you may find some you like better or just as well. That sight also tells you how to make them.

I would agree with BJ. And who knows when you start looking at all those great blocks you may find some different ones you fall in love with. Bet it will be pretty in pink and white.

This is a sampler quilt, each block is different and may have even been a block of the month. I agree quilters cache is a wonderful place to go and see all of the free block patterns they have available for download

There are many free pattern sites out there and you can also check out the links and resources section of this board for some wonderful free patterns too! :D :wink: :D
