The secondary designs built around the sashing really add a new
dimension to this old favorite block. Well done, Kim.

I like to see the Q'Cache blocks made up -- especially when
someone has made an entire quilt. Here's a particularly nice version of a very scrappy JL: http://www.quilterscache.com/images12/danasscrappJL.jpg Nann "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message news9o_e.6761$GK2.367@lakeread07... Focus on Design Feature has been on vacation this summer. Time to bring it back!! For the newbies, Focus on Design is my every-once-in-awhile posting to start discussion on a specific pattern or style. Let's keep to the designated topic, please. This is not the time to discuss chocolate (really!!) nor is it the time to wander off into social issues or movie stars. Save all that for another thread, thankyouverymuch!! Okay, now let's open the discussion on a popular traditional block, Jacob's Ladder Block. I have made this block in graphic solids. The triangles and background squares are white or black, alternating between blocks. The 'chain' squares are the colors of m&m's candy! I need to add borders, and finish this twin size project. It is bold and cheery. Has anyone else made a Jacob's Ladder quilt? Need a block diagram? Here is one version: http://www.quilterscache.com/J_L/JacobsLadderBlock.html TTFN, PAT in VA/USA |

Love it! Good border too, except I would have had the geese flying around in
a circle. Does one still call them geese if they aren't 45 degrees? Roberta in D "Nann Hilyard" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Not really sure on that, apparently it could also be based on a block called World's Fair, but it's similar to Jacob's Ladder. When I made the quilt I didn't know anything about block names, I just made it :-) -- Melinda http://cust.idl.com.au/athol |
