"I have embroidery blocks such as Winnie the Pooh and such and want to make them into really cute quilts. Do you have patterns that would work for this?"

"I have Irish heritage and I have always loved the Irish Chain quilt pattern. This one is very beautiful and reminds me of summer, but it could be just as lovely with darker colors. I have always wanted to make an Irish Chain out of dark blue and white colors, thinking that would look really nice. Of course, green colors would look charming and make one think of Ireland!"

You can be a quilting magician when you put together this Disappearing Hourglass Quilt Block. This quilt block looks time consuming, but that's another one of its deceptions! This hourglass quilt is quick and easy, especially if you use charm squares because then half the work is done for you. There is even a video tutorial that is two minutes long, which means that you can learn how to quilt this block in less that five minutes. You can use three colors of fabric or just two, depending on what you have on hand.
