I've also been sewing since I was a kid (8 when I started to make my own clothes) and started quilting in my 30s. I only just recently joined Craftsy and saw the "Swoon" pattern but honestly, I'm just too cheap to pay for a quilt block pattern. Then after much earnest Googling, I found your fantastic blog. I love that history lesson, too! I shall call this the Dutch Rose block from now on :) And I definitely want to use the "nickel" method to use up many of my scraps. I'm working on a baby quilting ministry at my church and we have a ROOM full of scraps--and annual sale to raise money for our missions. I can't wait to make a bunchaton of these quilts. Looks like it works up fairly quickly once you get the hang of it so once or twice and I"ll be cranking them out. Yay! You have a great blog. I'll have to catch up on the last 3 years' worth since your Dutch Rose tutorial. Bless you for sharing free of charge.-sryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16458898339506401965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811231148725444671.post-76867728580334560172015-06-16T21:56:49.271-05:002015-06-16T21:56:49.271-05:00Would it be possible to make this entire quilt blo...Would it be possible to make this entire quilt block with squares and half-square triangles?
