It's coming... I think I started it 2 years ago using the same learning process, so it is VERY slow. I'll post the pictures today (I hope)

Here is for the last sample block that I brought back from my class session. I started my homework at least a couple of years ago. I wanted to work around the drunkard's path made in class

We are re doing the basement family room and after it's done, I intend to add about 12 inches all round the quilt.
At first I thought I would make a quillow, but finally it is going to be for a electric twin bed.

I yet have to simmer some ideas as to how to add 12 inches and call it "done"
Your suggestions are very welcome
The only criteria is:
it has to be a "learning" block for me. Not too difficult and something I have not done yet" lollll

I wanted to try this block, as my mother had sewn a quilt with that pattern, before she got married in the '40

I kept adding with some other "learning" block

then I tried some paper piecing and the fence...

that is how it stands right now

Thank you Ridgefield
I am starting to like it too ...lolll. Adding some borders helped the look. Being my learning sampler quilt, I had not been enthousiastic about the overall look yet I was mainly concerned about learning different blocks, method, learning to measure, measure and than cut et re-measure and than trim some more...

Now, I think it's going to be just fine on my twin bed that sit in the family room and is used more like a couch than a bed. I intend to make a cushion or two,,,

I really need to come up with some ideas about how I could add 12 inches more, all around with a new block or pattern to learn and in which color???

I really like the way you placed your colors. And your piecing is very good and precise. I wish I lived close to quilting classes, but I have enrolled in Craftsy quilting classes and that's the next best thing. Thanks so much for sharing your learning experience.

I posted the final result somewhere else. I am putting it here sort of closing up the "journey" of my first quilt loll
and I have to add that I made it reversible so I would have the opportunity to learn some more blocks and techniques and not having to sandwich and quilt two quilts loll (lazy I am, I guess)[ATTACH=CONFIG]452633[/ATTACH]

the other side
