I am a visual person. I want to see the block, and click right on the "how-to". Lately, I've spent a lot of time "aimlessly" searching flickr, etc for ideas and the right tutorials. If I'd had a list like this, I could cut down my surf time and get out my rotary cutter! Now I can start brainstorming for my next quilt.....
This is my Quilt Block Library! It's a list of some of my favorite blocks, linked right to the tutorials. Hopefully, this is an ever-growing list....
QUILT BLOCK LIBRARY
I love your block library; please keep adding to it! And your tutorials, too! It's like a recipe box on your website instead of my computer where my bookmarked pages and files get lost or too hard to find.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat idea. I save things to my computer, but this is a cool visual that I truly need. I have to start something like this on my blog, for those moments of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteawesome idea ... love it!

this is great....thanks so much for taking the time to compile these blocks!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a super place to come to every few days !! I love the blocks and I love that you've taken the trouble to link the instructions right there as well. Thank You !!
ReplyDeleteMy family has quilted for generations. My great grandmother passed away at 98 and enjoyed quilting with her daughter and grand daughters. This site is something I will be able to share with my 84 year old grandmother tomorrow after a doctors appointment. She has displayed quilts at the Ohio State Fair and makes every new baby in our family a quilt. She still sits with her hoop and hand quilts them while watching tv in the evening. The blocks on here are beautiful, fun and bring back memories of quilts in our family. I have yet to make a quilt but now I am feeling quite inspired thanks to your hard work, inspiration and many any blocks to choose from. Nice to see you are also fromthe Buckeye State. HAPPY QUILTING!
ReplyDeleteI was like a kid in a candy store (or in a library/book store)!! I looked through them 3 times and saw new ones every time. I pinned 3 already, so I hope that gets you more traffic.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool!!! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so kindly for sharing this with us. You have excellent taste in blocks!! I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteSaw this link on Pinterest and have to comment. A large number of your blocks are some of the same that I have liked, bookmarked, copied, etc. in the past and I love how you have combined them all in one location with a visual so that you don't have to comb through a lot of information to even see what it is. Thanks for doing all the hard work and making it available.
ReplyDeleteOh, my! How wonderful! I am always finding then losing block patterns. I had them to my favorites list, as my puter guy said I will not waste my space. But this is great! Love your idea. Will be back for more blocks as you add them. I will tell my quilty friends.......
ReplyDeleteHi AnneMarie! I love you quilt block library. I pinned it so I will be able to find it again.....and again.....and again!
ReplyDeleteTHIS page is AWESOME!! very visual also. Actually love your whole blog! I love your modern blocks and prints. I started peacing a Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt when I was pregnant with my middle son. He is now 23 and I have yet to finish it. I played with some other quilting as a SAHM but have not sewn in years since entering the workforce. I suddenly have a creative bug that needs an outlet and i think some of these block may be my answer. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, and a great tool! I love that you have linked back to the original blogs, and I am looking forward to having a look at them all. Thanks for sharing; I am continuously blown away by the generosity of quilters on the web!!
