Nothing says happiness to me as much as a Quilt Block Pattern.  This is a pieced quilt block with a finished size of eight inches by eight inches.

For some reason this quilt block looks complicated and it’s not, maybe the simple quilt pieces or the 8″ x 8″ finished size?

March Quilt Pattern

March Quilt Pattern and a FREE Quilt Block to Make

I love March with all the new, and the first one, being in Florida just adds to my outdoor time each day. 

March 10:Daylight Savings Time starts in most areas in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. They set their clocks one hour forward to “Summer Time.”

March 17: St Patrick’s Day What started as a day in honor of Ireland’s patron saint has become an international celebration.  Many like to drink, be merry, and wear green on this day.

March 31 this year is Easter, a time to reflect, love and except.

All Quilter’s Have a First Quilt

First Quilt Made – The Quilt Ladies

This is My first quilt
In the early 1980’s we moved to Burlington, Iowa, it’s in the southeastern corner of the state on the Mississippi River and yes, I learned how to spell Mississippi. The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop

I had done some quilt blocks, some pillows and then I saw in the paper a class being hosted by the local quilt group. I remember it being expensive and how I agonized over it for days. but, finally signed up.
The teacher was “Liz Porter” at the time she worked for one of the magazines, Better Homes maybe, but is was a wonderful day and I learned so much.


Tutorial How I do my Squares

My First Quilt
My First Quilt is all Squares
My First Quilt
It was a color class which meant nothing to me at the time, looking at the quilt today I didn’t get the whole idea. Liz brought letters to add to each quilt to identify, I used my initials.
First Quilt is all Squares
Hand quilting was so relaxing to me, I had no frame, just a dining room table, pinned it very well and quilted. I checked out library books on how to do everything. The quality of books we have now is crazy different from then.
My First Quil
I was approached to join the quilt group after the class. I think I was a rarity in the group a “new” member. I remember being laughed at when they saw my round corners (months later) on the quilt. I love these corners. This is my quilt, I curl up under it daily, it’s washed all the time and it’s just over 43 years old. It’s never looked better to me.

And, if you are in the group in Burlington, IA. I’d love to hear from you ! !
