Darting Bird

This quilter’s poem lists 35 blocks, most of which I’ve posted here. I’ve catalogued over 1660 blocks in six years, but the poem mentions twelve I’ve never made. Aha! A to-do list for 2017!

“I’ve sought inspiration a quilt for to make. There's a wide choice of patterns, now which should I take?

Here's Baltimore Album and Sunbonnet Sue, Seven Sisters, Clay's Choice and Log Cabin too,

Anvil and Churn Dash, Birds in the Air, Country Crossroads, City Square,

Broken Dishes, Tree of Life, LeMoyne Star, Contrary Wife,

Mexican Star, Pickle Dish, Cherry Basket, Goldfish,

Thousand Pyramids, Irish Chain, True Lover's Knot and Airplane,

Tangled Garter, World's Fair, Kansas Troubles, Windblown Square,

Also Hovering Hawks and Flying Geese, I really don't know what to piece!

Four-Patch, Nine-Patch, Tumbling Blocks, Grandmother's Fan, Jack-in-the-Box,

Spider Web, Kaleidoscope, there must be one. I've not lost hope.

I've thought and thought, I'm ready to wilt. Eureka! I'll make a sampler quilt!” – Source Unknown
