The first dozen blocks in Heather's quilt came from the 2008-09 Quilts
Etc. block-of-the-month Europe by the Yard. They’re named for European countries, like Irish
Chain, Scottish Cross, English Wedding Ring, and Castles in Spain. The last
dozen are from the 2005-06 BOM Out of Your Box. I’ve moved twice since then,
and the binder holding those block patterns was one of the casualties. I remember
some of their names: Washington Star, Star Bright, Flying Dutchman, Raven Chase,
Chinese Hat and Chickadee. I used a few old favorites – Hunter’s Star, Log
Cabin, Snail’s Trail and Bow Ties – for the center. When I finished it, this
was my favorite quilt top. But it was badly quilted; there are several large
spots with no quilting at all. One of the prints wasn’t colorfast, and I used
it in six blocks! A few of the seams have begun to unravel. I know I should
replace it, but with what?
