Found my next baby quilt patterns! Thank you so much!
Now I have a couple different ones in mind. I can make one of those sew and chops and then one of these. They are so darling! |

Thanks in advance, Melissa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOWSp...eature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekYpJ...eature=related |
does anyone have a truning 20 pattern they can share with my wife.

There are 2 tutorials here for very simple quilts. One is based on jelly rolls & one is a sew & chop. Both were very satisfying to make.

PM me regarding the Turning 20 pattern.

I used the freequilts.com website and found an easy pattern using 10 1/2" squares. I think it was from Claudia's Quilt Shop. The pattern is called, "Big Blocks." I can work on it from start to finish in about 2-3 days time. It's very simple.

It was a big hit, but my favorite part was looking at the very personalized handprints and remembering that person.

I stumbled on Eleanor Burns, Quilting guru, when I started making quilts. Her instructions are well planned, step by step and easy to follow! I buy almost all of my quilt books second hand as I am on a fixed income. Try Goodwill Stores and any other second-hand book stores. The easiest pattern I found was Eleanor's Irish chain pattern. Her products are listed online at 'quiltinaday.com'. I have also had much luck on alibris.com. They have nearly every book ever printed, and the prices start at $1.99! Good luck and may the quilting bug bite you gently. lol!
