    I am working on an Irish Chain for my best friend's oldest granddaughter. In the middle of the big blocks I am adding a block that I found called the Ohio Rose. Lexie was born and has lived her entire live in Ohio. I thought this was appropriate. I found it in the magazine 100 Quilt Blocks. You can probably use just about anything in the middle. I really like the idea of having the quilting the 'star' of the block. Maybe next time.
