Make a Quilt Block

Grand #1’s Quilt Block

I think with age I remember things better. Grand 1 is now almost 17 years old and seeing this quilt block takes me right back to the days of making it. This is a pattern I drafted for a quilt for Grand #1 for his birthday. It may have an “Official Name” but to me it’s Grand #1’s Quilt block.
