and where did you find it? I'm thinking of going to the book store and would like some suggestions. I don't know how to paper piece or quilt as you go yet. :(

I am making a baby quilt with pinwheels. They are so cute and fun to make. There are tons of patterns all over the Internet ...a lot of them are free. Take a look to see what intrigues you.

I was scared to death to do paper piecing. Thought it was WAY out of my league. I really just a beginner too. I go for the easy patterns. Just sit and take your time, you will be able to do it. If I can, anyone can! |
My favorites are log cabin and mariner's compass.
Loretta, I agree with tlrnhi that you should try paper piecing. It isn't difficult, it's just different than regular piecing. Check out these sites and give it a try :D :D : http://ajpadilla.com/beginners-corner/paper-piecing-tutorial http://www.nmia.com/~mgdesign/qor/technique/pfp.htm |
My favorite is lone star/bethlehem star. I made my first from a book called Quilts, Quilts, Quilts. There are several versions of the book and it's a pretty helpful guide. I'd check it out from the library b4 deciding to buy.
Good luck. Can't wait to see what catches your eye. HTH, Julie |
My favorite is the Ohio Star... no, I'd have to say Churn Dash... or Log Cabin, but maybe it's the Friendship Star... :) -get my point??? I don't really have a favorite one... I love all of them - I actually made a baby quilt (36 x 36) that was just one Churn Dash block - supersized... it turned out cute.

I like Ohio Star, Snowball, a plain ole 9 patch, Irish Chains, etc.
Sometimes I'll just go through my books looking for inspiration - and pick patterns based on the fabric I want to use at a particular time... I've said it before ... I like using traditional patterns with the newer wilder fabrics 8) |
I like to do tumbling blocks, especially on children's quilts. I like to fussy cut pictures and make them scrappy, Uses up a lot of scrapes.
|
Actually I like a lot others, Grandmother's Garden must be my second choice.
