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

Nothing makes be happier than a RED, WHITE and BLUE Quilt. I have made a lot of them over the years here are a FEW

This is one of those, “What was I thinking?” quilts I have…. Machine pieced and I hand quilted. Each log cabin strip was cut at one inch by one inch. Finished quilt is twenty inches by twenty inches.

These Pictures Didn’t Make the Cut

I love taking pictures. I have taken classes, shot thousands of pictures, joined a group and just jumped in with two feet. I tried a couple competitions, but my skin wasn’t too thick. I took a year off and today I sent in digital prints, these photo’s here were close but didn’t make the cut…..I have no idea why, I think it’s at the moment kind of thing, but I really like these too.

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.
