    If you were to paint a quilt block for your "barn" which block would you choose and why?

    Oh My... it would probably be an elaborate one... as it is easier to paint pointy points, match up little pieces and Y seams, than to sew them :D:D:D

    Probably Grandmother's Flower Garden. Or Dutchman's puzzle in honor of a friend from Holland.

    Depending on what state I lived in I would research any traditional blocks with the state name in them [ie. Ohio Star, etc].
