Many possibilities to make blocks to create your individual style.Sunday 10 September 9.30-3.30

Blackford's Beauty
See what can be done with a very traditional quilt block! Increase the block size and the design becomes more dramatic and bold. Decrease the block size and the quilt feels more traditional. This pattern can do it all. Good candidate for some of the beautiful prints available.
