I have a couple favors to ask- since I am new to this
1) where do you get the patterns

Hi,
I'm in the Spring group and was looking at your blocks they are beautiful. Could you tell me the names of the blocks you used please? I received one F8 that I think would work with the block with the 4 blocks going catty corner across the block especially.

Thanks,
Donna C. Ohio

Sure, hope I can help you out.

I've used the ShooFly block: http://www.quilterscache.com/S/ShooFlyBlock.html (Use a SCANT seam)

Squares within Squares: http://www.quilterscache.com/S/Squar...res2Block.html (Use a SCANT seam)

The one that has two large squares with HSTs is out of the Farmers Wife Sampler - it's called Northern Lights there. It's simple to make. You need 4 - 6 1/2" HSTs (two of focus fabric and two of background) and 8 squares, each 3 1/2". (4 of the focus and 4 of background)
~Then, make 2 four patches.
~Sew the 4 patches to the HSTs (that you've sewn together into a 6.5" square)
~I press away from the 4 patch.
(This is a link to it but I do it slightly differently: http://www.quilterscache.com/N/NorthernLightsBlock.html)

The one that's similar in make up (regarding the HSTs and 4 patches) Is the SAME as the Northern lights one. Just reverse the HSTs.

I also have the Jinny Beyer book that she shows pictures of tons of quilt blocks. I've used the block a day calendar too.

Most of the blocks I make can be re-sized. So if I see a 6" block (I have the Sylvia Bridal Sampler) I just re-jig it to a 12" finished. My math isn't fantastic, so I use blocks with either 4 across, 3 or 2.

Oh - if you get a chance or have the Quiltmaker 100 blocks, I've used them too.

The one that's block #2 for 1000projects is just 2 four patch units (each square is cut at 3.5") and 2 squares cut at 6.5".

Thanks for your help. I forgot about the couple of block books I have that I can look through for blocks. My problem is if it isn't already a 12" block I don't know how to make it a 12" from a smaller size.
