Oh no not you again! (you know I'm kidding, right! :lol: )
Those are wonderful, who would have thought you could do so many variations with HSTs - lots of them were unfamiliar to me. And I love your little drawings - so cute. :-D

Danmar, your drawings really are inspirational. Thank you for taking the time to post these. The 'no name' ones appeal to me due to the total scrappiness look. I also like the Bachelor's Puzzle color 2. You have a lot of patience to draw all those....and so neatly.
Your help is appreciated. Have a great day!

Glad you like them. I love looking for cool little patterns and then using my colored pencils to make me a copy. I also have about 6 pages of Star blocks done like this if anyone is interested. Thanks k3n!

I went to www.quiltblocklibrary.com and found these patterns to show my mom and see if she liked any of them. (She didn't.) I like them and maybe you would too.
It the pictures turn out too small but look like something you might be interested in, go to the website and look up the name to get a better view. Hope this helps. Let us see what you make. I love pictures.

LOVE that graph paper. I don't know what I do without mine.
I print pictures of quilts off the internet then sit down with my graph paper, a colored pencils and a small pocket magnifier and draw them out. Then I figure out what size I want my blocks and that way I don't have to waste money on patterns. Unless, of course, it's one that I can't figure out.

I buy the composition notebooks with graph paper in the office supply store. They are slightly smaller than full size notebooks and are easier to carry around but I also have some of the full size graph paper for larger projects. It's a relaxation for me to sit with my pencils and figure out quilt patterns. I did that with a pattern called Sunset that I thought the picture (with their colors) was homely. I drew out the pattern, made mine with different colors and loved it. I'll try to post a pix soon.
