X Block Workshop Tomorrow
Last night Patricia Pepe gave the program at our (Manteca) membership meeting. Today and tomorrow Patricia is teaching a workshop, X Block... for Manteca quilters. Today is the beginner class and tomorrow is the advanced class. I am taking the advanced class. Below is the latest pattern that you can make with two different sizes of the X block ruler. The stars are made with a 3 inch ruler and the stripes with either the 6 or 7 inch ruler. Cool.
Here is a popular pattern made with the ruler......you make a 9 patch block with light fabric in the middle of the 9 patch and dark on both sides.....then you re-cut the block and lay it out and you have this wonderful quilt. A small X block used in the center of a 9 patch block. A different color way for the X block above....love the batik's used. Here is a small X block quilt. Blue and Yellow..... A very fall looking x block. Black and white made with the x block. The possibles are endless......class is going to be fun tomorrow.
I am a quilter. The grandaughter of a dairyman. I was married to a dairyman but am now divorced and have a daughter. I work for a dairy trade group. Love cows and the country life. I was born here in the big valley and have never lived more then 15 miles away from where I was born. I buy way too much fabric, patterns and quilting books, belong to two quilt guilds and will never have enough time to finish all the projects I want to do.

I was going to ask if you got a picture of the flag quilt. I want to make that one. I didn't want to wait for it to come out at Spring Market!
