Row by Row Quilt
This is my second post about the Row by Row quilt my quilt club is doing. We are doing 9" blocks. I really want to add a row of a simple 9" Pine tree block, a simple 9" house or church, and a simple 9" flower. Anyone have any suggestions where I can find these blocks?

Ditto to RedGarnet's suggestion re quilterscache.com
Also, let Mr. Google help you .... it's always surprising what we find, if only we ask!
Another possibility would be to design your own blocks on graph paper.
Just a thought ...
Your quilts may have more interest if you create some rows with different sizes of blocks.
Eg. if the overall finished width is to be 54", that gives you 6 blocks 9" square.
Though you could also do nine blocks 6" square.
Or rectangles, which could work well for the trees, such as nine blocks 6" x 9" tall, etc.
..... and other combinations.
As I said, just a thought that you may want to consider while in your design phase.
