I tried this link and saw the pictures but couldn't get any of the patterns to download or even show up on screen.

Did anyone else try it? Did it work?

I am sorry I didn't realize it doesn't work any more

I really like almost any of the free patterns from Bonnie Huntville at
http://www.quiltville.com/

Else a star pattern Ohio or friendship from quilter's cache.

No favorite. Every quilt is different and I love each block.

Yes, that is Lincoln - he is our OP "Original Puggle". Our home will probably never again be Puggle-free.

We have another that looks a little more like a Jug, Jack Russel and Pug - but we are pretty sure he really is a Puggle - just not the typical.

No actual favorite, but I tend to lean on blocks with squares, rectangles, and triangles. No circles or curved seams for me -- life is too short. :o)

Well, obviously Dresdens,but that could change tomorrow.

I bounce around a lot on choice of blocks but my favorite trick of all is sitting the block on point. It took a couple quilts before completely understanding how to get those outside half points to be on the straight of grain but once I got it through my head, practically very block ends up on point. Since I make numerous charity quilts, setting on point makes a super fast extender of the size of quilt too.
