Annie's Choice Quilt Block
12 x 12 inches.
This is my first attempt at making this particular quilt block; and it turned out quite proper.
I did not work from a pattern, and on my first try, the block turned out to be only 6 1/4 by 6 1/4 inches. My attempt was for a block that would be, at least, ten inches. (guess I should return to math school)
Loving the black and white, and the dandelions.
The 6 1/4 block is below.
Working with those tiny squares....

Red and White Stars
Sister's Choice
Quilt Top Blocks
These blocks are 12 x 12 inches each.
I enjoy making challenging quilt blocks, and these, somewhat, are.
Though I draw lines for the HST's, oh well, again, these are somewhat challenging to make.
There are the 9-patch centers, where the seams should match as closely as possible; then, the extra rows must be added on -or some sewers might go row by row when constructing these blocks. I find it easier to do the 9-patch unit first; and then add the other pieces.

Country Quilting Book
This awesome book contains several sewing, crafting and quilting techniques.
I have several new copies, and would love to sell some of them.
There are 30 projects included.
This is a hard copy book; with an outer dust jacket.
Loving the easy instructions.
I hope to try making the Amish bag.
There are several neat patterns in this book.
