“I am taking a few days off” 

I hope you are using and enjoy my quilt blocks. I can’t say it enough, thank you all for your years of support, I can only do this because you purchase my quilt patterns. Again, thank you !

From The Quilt book which started my quilt pattern company “The Ladies” quilt pattern book. “The Ladies” are The Quilt Ladies. They quilt every Tuesday together and after years of doing that, they’ve decided to do a quilt pattern book. So “The Ladies” was born, a quilt block sampler pattern book with 68 – Eight by Eight Inch quilt pattern blocks. If you make the quilt as in the book the finished quilt measures 76″ x 84″ All straight pieced, all cutting and piecing instructions included.

Quilt Block has a finished size of eight inches by eight inches.
