In my sewing room today, as I was having lunch, I want to share this little quilt. One of my favorite things is to eat at my computer desk in my office and just be. With Husband home, it doesn’t happen as much as it used to, but the days it does, I make sure I enjoy every moment. My Red Flower Quilt was machine pieced and I hand quilted. If I remember this pattern is from a quilt magazine, I probably made it in the late 80’s. It’s still timeless.
It’s just pretty.
Measures about 16′ x 16″
It’s paper pieced, which I don’t do anymore, so machine pieced
and I hand quilted.
Take time to enjoy EVERY day !

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.
We have made a square, a triangle and some basic quilt info. NOW it’s time for some FUN quilt block patterns. Don’t over think these, just step by step.
