I don't know a lot of the names of squares and this would help me in identifying them. Thanks a lot.

Sorry I wasn't thinking when I wrote the list that would be helpful... On many of these I could not find directions and dimensions on the internet but I found coloring pages on www.quilt.com. I copied the single block pasted it into WORD and then enlarged it to 6.5 (right click on the picture once its pasted on your document and select size). Then because some of the pieces are very small I made more than one copy added a seam allowance and used it as a paper piece it worked wonderfully
FIRST ROW
Old Maids Ramble
Symmetry In Motion
True Blue
13 Squares (there are 13 in there but some of them are white next to white rectangles so in the picture they don't really show)

SECOND ROW
Split Nine
Turkey in the Straw
Treasure Box
Best of All
THIRD ROW

Crossed Canoes
Salem
Christmas Star 1
Little Basket

Be sure to post pictures of it. I should try buying books sometimes I am such a cheap skate LOL. I have been looking on line for 'free' patterns that are in 6 1/2 size. Then taking some that aren't listed in that size and trying to down size them that takes some thinking and takes longer to complete a block. But in the end I am proud of my blocks and I guess having to do it this way is a learning experience - right?

Beautiful blocks. Not sure I could make that many 6 1/2" blocks! Great fabric choices too.
