Walk Around the Block Mini Quilt
Tuesday January 16, 2007
Here's a miniature quilt that finishes at 22-inches square. Its pictorial center medallion is framed by a dark, narrow border and large triangles. Strip pieced nine-patch and bar blocks, plus very dark triangles, complete the center section of the quilt. I chose a house pictorial for my center block, but the quilt would work for Valentine's Day -- choose a fun or romantic fabric and surround it with your choice of colors. Experiment -- it will work with any theme you choose, and you might prefer to use more contrasting color values from piece to piece. If you make this little quilt, I'd love to put it in our Online Quilt Show, so I hope you will send me a photo.

when we send you pictures of quilts, how long does it take to show them in articles. i had sent you a picture of a memory quilt and you sent a letter back to me saying you wanted to use it. i was just curious , maybe i didn’t look in correct article for it…thank you if you can let me know.
I use them all, I’m just way behind. I’ve been working on them the past few weeks to optimize them for the Web and get them uploaded and into galleries. Thank you for sending the photo — I’ll put something on the front page of the site and in the newsletter when everything is updated.
