I sometimes paper piece these blocks, since I find it hard to get the corners on just right.

Anita . I saw your video on the square in a square and thank you for that. I tried that and it really worked. Thank you so much from an inspired quilter.

I went to that site and to squarequilting and didn't find the method she uses. Her videos won't play on my computer and they are too tiny.

David,

I found them on Ebay. I purchased 12 blocks for just under $50, about a year ago. They are the embroidered logo on white background. The vendor has a license for the NHL, NFL, MBL, NBL, etc.

Do a search on ebay for Football quilt blocks and it should come up.

Actually, here is the link:

Choose from the menu on the left.

Love your "But I can't explain 'whys' of the 1-1/4" without hurting my head" :-)

I ordered the book today. DD wanted something from barnes & noble so I figure I might as well get this book too to get free shipping. :mrgreen: Can't wait to get it-I have too much fabric and too little room so I need to get sewing.

The quilt top is almost done, just need to add borders!

See the picture here.

Jan in VA, I used your method for the larger square in a square and loved it. My points are floating! I also really liked just cutting out the middle piece of fabric. When I made the inner blocks for the stars, the squares were too big and I would have been sewing through the embroidery, so I had to cut them back, which is why there are no points.

Anita, I didn't use your method because the blocks were too large and I didn't have paper in the house to make a diagram that was big enough, but I have used it to cut a ton of scraps and have a great quilt border in the makings for one of my patriotic quilts and the blocks look awesome because they are so perfect! I found some graph paper on a roll that can handle larger blocks for the future. I just love how easy it is cut the blocks.
