Hi! I'm a very inexperienced quilter. I made my then 3-year-old a bug jar quilt in a class, and I still haven't finished the quilt-as-you-go quilt I started soon after, and now it's too small for my second child. Oops!
I got this website link from someone on PatternReview when I asked about traditional quilt blocks. We've been renovating my sewing room (shelving, etc.) and repainted it in dark purple and 2 shades of green. (Most of the room is light green, with a half-wall dark green and a full wall very dark purple.) I decided to quilt some wall hangings in shades of greens and purples to hang on the purple wall, to tie the room together, and now I've got to figure out what blocks to use! ;) I'm thinking of doing a few sampler quilts - maybe 2-3 blocks by 3-4 blocks. So far, I'm sure that I'll have Dresden plates, log cabins, and rail fences - but that's all I've decided! Opinions welcome! (I've been bookmarking blocks at quilterscache.com and plan to "test" them in graph paper form first.)
