Is there some place a person can go to get examples of some of these blocks and how to do them?
Hi Debisewbee I am the author of those ebooks. I have a lot of free tutorials that you can use to learn my blocks. My methods are my original ideas so they are not taught anywhere else but in my material. But I have a lot of free resources you can use.
I have a section in the Virtual Section that has most of my "Blocks" directions and then there are a couple more I think that I haven't added here yet and you can find them on my free website. Bits n Pieces Workshop
The link is below in my list of links.
I also contribute to Admin's newsletter from time to time so if you haven't signed up for that you might think about it.
If you need any help just let me know! I will be more than happy to walk you through anything you might need.
My shortcuts are unique and they are easy to do. I hope you will try them and find they are fun to do.
This is where you will find the block directions

Then you can use the "Blocks" - for example the Boston Blocks or the Star Point Blocks to make a quilt block.
You will find some quilt blocks on my website and also in the Sampler Quilt I have been posting my original quilt blocks that are made up of my shortcut "Blocks"
You can see the link for the Sampler Quilt Along below.
You will need my templates so if you would like them send me a PM with your postal address and I will be happy to send them. We are getting caught up on the back log of requests as I am down to 45 left to process but will need to reorder more supplies so it will be about a week or week and a half before I can get more in the mail to everyone.
Here are my links for the info I have available:
