We began…

as a group of strangers who loved books and quilting. So we gathered together to make the Solomon’s Puzzle Sampler Quilt.  Quickly I discovered how talented my “students” are. Here are some of them with the first block of the quilt –Five women with the Solomon's Puzzle quilt block Monday am

Laura, Kitty, Nancy, Ruth and Dorothy show their first efforts.

This block can be challenging because it has curved piecing, but you see that they each did well!

This picture is from February… but I’ll catch you up in the next few weeks to see all that has happened in our lovely little Book Lovers Block of the Month clubs.

Sometimes they just don’t feel like following the pattern.  Here’s a picture of three different “interpretations” of block 7, Little Low Heaven:
