Focus on Design: Jacob's Ladder
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 |

I have not made this paticular block, but have been playing around with the
idea. I am in the process of collecting fabric for a quilt for our next-door neighbor's girl. She is 9, and her and my 6 y.o. play together all the time. She loves to watch me piece and quilt, and is always admiring the quilts I make for family and friends, saying she wished she could have something like that. I want to make it special, and more for her as a pre-teen that a little girl, so am making it out of some really wild and funky colors. As for the background triangles, not sure what to do for color. I was think muslin, or even flannel..... Toni "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!!

Jacob's Ladder is one of the blocks in my Bible Block Sampler. Here are some
examples in a sampler setting: http://members.shaw.ca/whiskerwerx/g...lers/index.htm Here are some examples in a straight setting http://members.shaw.ca/whiskerwerx/g...ocks/index.htm [Jacob's Ladder 1 and Jacob's Ladder 2] and here's the same block set with "Road to Damascus" http://members.shaw.ca/whiskerwerx/g...manuel_jpg.htm I've also just finished another Jacob's Ladder in brights and a bright cars print on white set with sashing strips in black for one of my nephews: I'll probably add it to my page at some point soon. -- Kim Graham http://members.shaw.ca/kigraham Nanaimo, BC, Canada THE WORD IN PATCHWORK "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message news9o_e.6761$GK2.367@lakeread07...

I made a christmas wall hanging in 2003 using that
exact block. It was made with 4 Jacob's ladder blocks. You can check it out on my webshots under wall hangings. http://community.webshots.com/user/dreamboat116 I also sent it to Marcia at quilterscache to see if she wanted to put it on her site. dreamboat "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message news9o_e.6761$GK2.367@lakeread07...

The triangles got turned around in some places though, it turned out okay the picture is on the website, link below. The current hand pieced project is also based on Jacob's Ladder, a little better planned than the first quilt :-) -- Melinda http://cust.idl.com.au/athol |

I haven't made one, PAT; but I did look up the picture. At first I
thought 'that's tricky', then I saw how it was built up - four patches and half square triangles, and I marvelled that something so complex looking could have simple roots. I began to imagine how many ways there would be of putting these blocks together in a quilt. I'm not really a 'block' quiltmaker, but some of these blocks really are attracting me.

It's just up your alley, Roberta.
Just the thing for scraps - well, the way you handle rather than the shambles I might make of them g .. In message , Roberta Zollner writes Haven't made one! Now I ask myself why not!

Thanks for the lovely pictures Kim. My Jacob's Ladder is very
similar to your Jewel Box, so maybe I gave it the wrong name. The blocks are similar. Mainly the color placement changes the look.

I made one back in March. Another list I'm on had a St Patrick's Day mystery
quilt and said scrappy was OK. Boy is it loud. It's in my webshots album, this link should work http://community.webshots.com/photo/...09985796OrKScm But DD thinks it's cool and someday, I'll border and quilt it, when I decide on a border colour or pattern. Any suggestions? Michelle in Borden "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!!
