Laundry Basket Quilt Book


I made a comment at Quiltmaker's blog and happen to be the winner of this book by Laundry Basket quilts.



The applique in the book is wonderful and Edyta's tips are great, but this Lemoyne star quilt really caught my eye. (I love that jug too) If I didn't dislike set-in seams so bad I might actually make this.

Make sure to read the first post I put on my blog today. Two in one day!

    There is a way to make the LeMoyne star block from rectangles & squares only.

    Looks like an inspiring book. Lucky you!
    Re: your first post, I love my Hera marker. It doesn't work with all fabrics & projects, but when it does, it's priceless.

    I too love this book! I had to put some on my etsy shop to sell because I thought they were fantabulous. I am always intrigued with your quilts and your shopping trips...thanks for sharing, Elaine

    WOW, I had to BUY my book but I STILL love it! Got the gorgeous border print just like on the front...now I need to get crackin' on it (after about 20 more projects in front of it! LOL).
