Thanks for helping this brain fogged quilter. |
I cleaned my sewing room the week before Christmas and also discovered some interesting items. It was like an archeological dig![/QUOTE]
I'm getting ready to do the same. We had the old part of our late 1700 home remodeled due to some water damage from a broken pipe last January and am finally getting my guest/sewing room back. Who knows what I'll rediscover... should be fun. |
My favorite is a disappearing 9 patch. Finished block size is 13".

Another great idea is the "Good Night Irene" Quilt, which was featured by Fons and Porter; but if you google it, you can find the same blocks elsewhere. It is a combination of 16 patch blocks and X quilt blocks. I did see a Missouri Quilt video on how to make these blocks. Someone wrote that this quilt will take: "233 charm squares (6 packs), 3 5/8 yards white solid for blocks and the inner border and 2 3/8 yards blue print for outer border and binding. The backing takes 8 1/4 yards. The finished size of the quilt is 82X90. You make 36 (8 inch) Sixteen Patch blocks and 36 (8 inch) X blocks."
