If I remembered how to calculate this correctly, we're 84% of the way done with Block Heads 2! If I goofed - always a possibility - then there are only eight more blocks after today.
Even if they never used one, I doubt any quilters have missed cardboard templates. Not when we can use rotary cutters and acrylic rulers to get accurate, consistently-sized pieces for patchwork.
A few weeks ago, I asked you to share some of your favorite books, and a few of the titles that came up were block books. Rotary cut and template based, using a specific technique and paper-pieced, easy and challenging. You should know I collect block books of every manner and generation. They are my favorite type of quilt book.
