Oh My!! Am I going to lose my mind? I just bought the book and am making copies of the blocks now.Have a whole tub full of fabrics I have been collecting to use. Can't wait to get started.

There is no 'stupid question' - ever!

There is no such thing as a stupid question. Everyone has to ask a question sooner or later that may be obvious to some others. BUT...if YOU don't know the answer, the design or the technique, then you have to ask. Just like the rest of us.

Jane A. Stickle in 1863, made a quilt with very small blocks -- a sampler. A book has been published with patterns for many, many blocks and quilters will often use these patterns to replicate a portion or even to use more modern fabris to give it a new twist. http://www.dearjane.com

Wow, thanks for asking that question; what a work of art! I've never seen one before.

I saw a demo of one of the tiny blocks on a Fons & Porter TV show once and it is just TOO small for me to even think of. YIKES :lol:
