A hobo quilt would be fun to do too! I collected hobo symbols many years ago for another project. What's the name of the book?

mindless- thanks for the links....this is all very interesting to me..I think my weekend will be spent researching instead of sewing.
Vanogay-what is the name of your book? I only know these came out of the depression era..more research needed
buddy'smom-would love to see pictures of the quilts you made....that would be a treat!

Hello ladies, Tam Moo and I are discussing a bit still, i have some fabrics collected already and have been working on a pattern for the block, and the border, and as I told her I am using parts of 3 different blocks to make a unique block, with a special one in the middle or center block, I am into making unique one of a kind quilts, as i dont do much repeats , really cant think of any , but mabe one, and she picked it out and it was a panel, of blocks, baby animals, it was cute and she loved it and that is what i like , for people to love what I make them,
Now that my little ones surgery is over, and she is doing better, i will post pics of the fabric, as some jsut arrived in the mail yesterday, from MSQ, but later on today are tonight i should have them up, and maybe a block partly put together, and yes i will be putting sneak peaks, and parts of the construction , for inspiration, as i get some also from other peoples work, looking foreard to many more pics.
am I no the right site group for the pics i had read a earlier post about being in the group site, is this it, just checking,
I to have received some great fabrics form a nameless fellow quilting buddy and some special deals and jsut love all i have received adn have some waiting on postage, as that will be a bit later, and you know who u are ,
best wishes for a wonderful day and we are cold here in Kansas,

Hello Didi, darlin. Have been digging and pulling and looking and thinking. I think I am on a close track. You tell me what you think. I want to make you proud. Don't get mad if it's not real big. But what I have in mind, it has to stay square. Now if I can only pull it off
