Love the sampling of the quilt blocks. They look fun to make. Thanks for sharing
I think I want to make every pattern. They are all so great!
I also like the “Hidden Baskets” design. Maybe because it’s simple yet looks complex. I think it would also be great to experiment with color combinations, textures, etc.
Any of these blocks would make great baby quilts! four blocks and a border, and it’s done!
Thank you for sharing! Love the top one best I think
That lantern block is mighty cute! So are the others–hard to choose a favorite. I’d love to win the book.
All the blocks look great for a baby quilt. Thank you for the chance
