Are you going to show us your blocks?
My mom quilted by hand and had several quilts finished. I had 8 siblings and she let them pick out a quilt that they liked. The last 2 boys had the hardest time deciding. It is funny how peoples' taste aren't always what you would think.

You all have such great ideas!!!! Thank you so much!! I'm sure there's lots of people getting ideas from this too!! :D :D
I love how my 'Gentleman's Fancy' is looking so far, and I showed my son's girlfriend yesterday, and she really likes it too!
I have only eight blocks done so far, and wish I could post a picture!! There is soooo much cutting and sewing with this block though! :roll: I prefer the quick and easy ones! lol!!!!
I'll have my DH figure out what's wrong with my camera when he gets home, and post a picture!

Hello Donna,
I just saw your answer to MollieSue regarding her quest for a quilt pattern for an adult son. I wanted to do a storm at sea for my youngest son, who is in his first year of college out of town. I looked fevorishly for a pattern and could only find some pictures, no patterns or some very dark pictures with no yardage or directions. Eventually a quilting sister in New Hampshire sent me an old book she had with a pattern but it has too many pieces and is a very old pattern which I know has now been updated. Another quilting sister recently found a book with a variation of the storm at sea which is very helpful but I was wondering if you might be able to help me with just one more pattern and directions?
My son did not want ot take it to college so I have plenty of time to finish it. I had bought my material a long time ago when the thought first came to me to make him one. I know from the other pattern book that I do not have enough of the difrent materials but I am willing to play with what I have and see how it comes out.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Annz

Hi Annz,
Here is a Storm at Sea pattern, from quilter's cache. Is this more like what you're looking for?

MJ,
I really love the plaid one. I have a stack of plaid brushed wovens that I've been collecting. I hadn't realized how great the log cabin would look in them. How is the Foldy Stuff method different? I'll have to explore that. :D
