This is the simple quilt pattern block I made that inspired my book. I took a simple quilt block and changed each block, based on this Bear Paw quilt, which was a gift to my Mom, years ago.
GIVE it a TRY ! it’s easy, all you use is triangles and squares.
Old Maids Puzzle. This quilt block has a finished size of four inches by four inches. Making the quilt as shown in the book you will have a finished quilt thirty inches by thirty inches, perfect as a lap quilt or a baby quilt.
I made this quilt block with very simple colors and background, but you can have lots of fun with it. Remember to press NOT IRON a quilt block and I always press as I go each seam. I have a small ironing board right by my sewing machine. I posted how I do quilt triangles for you at my other site, TheQuiltLadies.com

This is the FIRST time I’m sharing one of My Quilt Ladies Books Quilt Pattern’s here on the site. This is a happy month at our house. Husband and I are celebrating 40 Years today ! ! So it seems a bit fitting to do something just a little different today !
I’m so VERY blessed and lucky, he’s a keeper ! He told me once, it would never be dull. So far, it’s wonderful.
This quilt block is one of my quilt blocks from Book Eleven of The Quilt Ladies. The quilt in the book has three different quilt blocks in ONE quilt.
