Your Favorite Block/Blocks?
I have not been quilting long but through these past couple years of
participating in many BOMs and such, I have come to realize that I am attracted to certain blocks over the others, and the one that has held my fondness is the Weathervane. For some reason, this is one that I would like to repeat. I dont know why, I just like it. Do you have any particular block (or blocks) which is a favorite? Ann |

I love card trick blocks. No matter how many different blocks I make, if
I need a "quick idea" I always return to that one.

Any star block is my favorite - don't know why.

I like nine patches for several reasons. They're easy, can be combined with
other blocks to make lovely secondary patterns (Snowballs, Irish Chain) and they're easy. Did I mention that they're easy? -- Debi (accuracy-challenged) Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

The one currently under contruction is always the favorite :-) But they do
seem to come in cycles of obsession. Once I made nothing but Drunkard's Path and variations thereof. Then it was Log Cabin for a long time. Followed by many more happy obsessions. Right now it's not a block as such, more of a Mariner's Compass fixation with round mosaics. Roberta in D "~Ann~" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Ann Good question Ann! and a good conversation starter :-) My favorite isn't really a block per se -- more of a block family, the 9 Patch. Each time I see a block that seems attractive or that I want to make, it turns out to be a 9 Patch after I analyze it. Of the 9 Patches I've done though, I think Card Trick is probably the most favorite. -- Anne in CA "It's not having what you want; it's wanting what you've got." -- Sheryl Crow http://community.webshots.com/user/annerudolph3 http://home.covad.net/~arudolph/annes.htm |

for some reason, I too lean towards star blocks very frequently. in fact i
have twenty different 12" star blocks waiting to be sashed and bordered into a star sampler. i have to say that i love almost any log cabin i ever see done by anyone. always warm and cozy. makes me want to go start one. love your weathervane.....may take your suggestion and do some of those!! and I love, though haven't done any of the other folks' idea of Kaleidoscope. love the possibilities. have a bunch of hand-dyeds that may work beautifully w/ that block. hhhhmmmmm, thanks for getting me thinking. allyson "~Ann~" wrote in message ...
