I love quilt patterns, changing and rearranging the pieces into something new makes me happy. Sharing them is one of my favorites too. Today’s finished quilt block is eight inches by eight inches. Please don’t let the size overwhelm you, the quilt squares are cut one at a half and the triangles are two and a half, nothing hard to do.(cut 2 7/8″)
May Day is a WELCOME Spring and my May Day Basket Quilt Pattern. The tradition of leaving flowers and gifts on doorsteps and the FIRST day to go barefoot outside. From my days with my Grandmother it was the day to move bee boxes and the day to plant corn, cucumber and turnip(which we never ate) in the garden. I think my favorite is it’s Mary’s day, May and motherhood led Christians to adopt May as the month of our Lady, the Mother of God and our heavenly Mother.
As Quilter’s, May BASKET day and here is Mine for YOU ! Finished size of my quilt block is 14″ x 14″ and it’s all squares and triangles with straight piecing, so here we GO ! I have broken this quilt pattern down into sections. I am working on the quilt block (will share) it’s probably going to become a complete quilt pattern ! See My Quilt Pattern Shop

This is one of the classes I used to teach. You do squares, triangles, how to press, color placement and how to get this quilt block as shown or on point.
I can’t find the quilt??? I know it’s here some place???? I don’t think it’s ever had pictures taken of it, if it did, what did I do with them?? Old Lady moment? Anyway, here is my Growing Garden quilt pattern.
I know some places just can’t seem to get there YET, but I hope this little quilt pattern block helps. The finished quilt pattern flower is eight inches by eight inches, if you add the border it’s ten inches by ten inches. See my Quilt Pattern Shop

I have been working on a quilt block of EVERY State. I have them all drawn, jpeg’s and maps done, I just can’t seem to find time to get them ALL pieced in fabric, but they are wonderful and I’m sharing my quilt block pattern I did from the State of Ohio. Why OHIO? No idea ??? The way my mind is working here lately. This quilt block has a finished size of fourteen inches by fourteen inches (14″ x 14″) My Quilt Pattern Shop
