A lady I know is moving house and while they are not downsizing, there will be less room in the new place. The end result is that I have been a very happy receiver of goodies from her quilting room. I was very happy to give these two books a new home. 
There are the cutest quilts in the Civil War Legacies by Carol Hopkins. The Civil War sampler has some lovely blocks, but is also a very interesting read.
SCORE! I didnt own any of Bonnie Hunters books, but now I do! I learned all about Leaders and enders from following Bonnie, so it was great to have the patterns. I am now trying to decide which pattern to choose as my new leader and ender for 2016.
I love a good nine patch and Sisters Nine Patch ticks all the boxes! How can you not love all those delicious red and white nine patches! And I have loads of red and white stripes left over from my dresden plate quilt.
Then again Blue Ridge Beauty - a blue and white four patch combined with half square triangles is also tempting!
OR perhaps I should throw caution to the wind and move away from controlled palettes and make this sweet quilt called Crab Apples, using all my 1 1/2" squares...I am sure I don't have 854 one and half inch squares, but then I have never counted them!
Ah decisions, decisions!
Happy quilting Sue.
fabulous books Sue, and I know you will make great use of them... looking forward to seeing what you decide for leaders/enders..

Three great additions to your library. I've got to get a new leaders and Enders project figured out as well. It's amazing how quickly you can sew a second quilt while working on other things. Looks like you've got a few good ideas to choose from. Sometimes it's so hard to narrow it down.
ReplyDeleteYou have three great books there--I have them, too. Lots of great inspiration in their pages. You did score!
ReplyDeleteI like each of the patterns you are pondering. I've made Crab Apples in Fall colors. It is a fun pattern.
Lovely books Sue, I'm sure you will give them a good home :-) Have fun with your decision making!
ReplyDeleteGreat score, you will love Bonnie Hunters book i have them all. Her leader/ender principle is pure genius. Your right tho deciding which one will be the hard part 😊
