Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to visit. Here's where I like to share my love of quilting, gardening, and all things herbal. My shop is filled to the brim with herbs, fabrics, wool, dolls, antiques, books and patterns, and so much more. I do longarm quilting for clients in my upstairs smoke and pet-free studio.

SCRAPPY BUCKEYE BEAUTY QUILT BLOCK
This is the buckeye beauty block, but if you look close it is the jacob's ladder block x4. In most of the block patterns that I have looked at the the dark triangle is on the outside of the block---well---I liked it better on the inside of the block next to the dark 4-patch. So--what I am doing is packing the 3 colors together for each block and each pack will make two 6 1/2" jacob's ladder blocks. Each pack is also numbered so you can purchase them in order and not get any duplicates. There is also enough fabric for a scrappy border and binding. The pattern is free with your first pack purchase. And just make as many as you want, start and stop anytime. When I have enough blocks (12) made I will arrange them (3x4) into a top with the borders and binding. If I have enough people interested, I will offer a 2-3 hr. workshop on speed piecing--I can make 8 jacob's ladder blocks in about an hour.
