Crib Quilt for Charity

Like all quilters, I have accumulated a few UFOs (unfinished objects). When I first started quilting, I worked on a sampler quilt using pink and blue fabrics. I only completed a few of the blocks and have long since lost the sampler quilt pattern. I moved and longer wanted a quilt in these colors for my bedroom. So what to do with the sampler blocks?

After seeing my Birds in the Air block, a friend suggested finishing it as a crib quilt and donating it to our local Women's shelter. Great suggestion!

I used MyWebQuilter.com to create a pattern for this little quilt.

This is a picture of the actual quilt.

MyWebQuilter.com has a new quilt pattern gallery. You may copy quilts from the gallery to access the pattern, learn how to use MyWebQuilter.com and/or use gallery quilts as a starting point for your own quilt design.

I put this little quilt in the gallery. Check it out!

Happy Quilting.

Lawyer's Puzzle Quilt Block Pattern

I am on a roll adding more traditional quilt blocks to www.MyWebQuilter.com . I just added the Lawyer's Puzzle - also known as the Barrister's Block. A 24 block quilt using this block looks like this: You can find the free quilt block pattern here . I love this example of the Lawyer's Puzzle painted on a barn. BTW - Here in the USA there is significance to showing this pattern in green. It is the only green you will have left after paying your lawyer! Happy quilting! Amber
