Name of book: "The It's Okay If You Sit On My Quilt Book" by Mary Ellen Hopkins.
It has over 350 different block designs of all different "patches", trees, roads, crosses, butterflies, etc, instructions on how to set a design "on point", diagonal sets, and on and on. There is also graph paper pages, how to figure the number of blocks needed, and much more.
This is a wonderful and inexpensive book for beginners and for experienced with 111 pages all filled with blocks like you see in the picture below. I got my book on Amazon used (it was actually like new) for around $10 about a year ago.
The reason I am posting this is because I recently posted a couple of pictures of my Autumn Table Toppers and many wanted to know where to get the pattern. I have sent some the pattern card for it, but this book has similar things and is WAY more economical. I guarantee you will love this book.
Let me know if anyone has one or buys one.
wow they must have caught on that you guys were buying this book, it is now around $24 for new
I just bought one at Amazon within the last 15 minutes, used, in "Like New" condition, plastic comb version, (so that the pages lay flat) for $10 and $3.99 shipping. I've had good luck with buying used books at Amazon, but I always look at the positive percentage rating of the seller. And a special thanks to Sharon for posting this information on the book! :thumbup:
