I've been quilting for 30+ years. My favorite pattern is the first one I did: a Trip Around the World. That's the one I remember being on my bed as a kid (made by Grandma), and that's the one I picked to kick off my quilting habit!

I have been quilting for 15 yrs and my favorite block is the one I have pictured.
I got it out of a magazine a few years ago. It is a white on white, and a black floral. What I love about this pattern, is how you take a color from the black and use it as the accent color. I have done this block a couple of times and will probally do it again, if I can find some black floral I like.

I have been quilting since July. I saw an episode of Sewing with Nancy and she was quilting and I thought, I can do that. Started researching online, went to a quilt shop 40 mi away the next weekend. Two weekends later, 25 yr old sewing machine I bought for $99 at a motel showing broke and my DH bought me a Bernina 230PE the end of August.
My favorite blocks to actually do are the simple blocks. Although I tend to go for more complicated. Working on finishing up my 3rd quilt for my grandson. I designed it myself on graph paper with colored pencils. It is sailboats. His birthday is in May so I'd better hurry.
