Day Five of Free August Quilt Pattern Block from The Quilt Ladies

From The Quilt Ladies

This is a completely new quilt pattern book I have been working on. After the 4th of July holiday (2020), I was thinking about a quilt pattern of each state. And here is what “I” came up with, there are many others, this is MINE. This is a big quilt pattern block, finished size of fourteen inches by fourteen inches.
I just finished drawing the patterns and will start piecing the blocks soon, so if a measurement mistake??? Not fixed in making yet, but will be.

AS always, I can ONLY give these pattern free, because you purchase and support me HERE

My Great-Great Grandmother’s Quilt This quilt was a gift to my mother from her Great Grandmother. And then a Gift to me from My Mother. Making it by, GREAT-GREAT Grandmother’s Gift to ME ! Well…That’s how I like to look at it. I never met her and my mom only remember’s helping with the peddle sewing machine. I use this quilt and love sleeping under it. It goes in the washer and now living here in Florida and not having a clothes line it does go it the dryer….Yes… it bothers me too, but…. the colors are still very bright, but the Florida sun won on these photo’s.

The hand quilting on this quilt is WONDERFUL
