I like the log cabin block. It’s versatile, easy, and the variations are endless.

I am probably too late for this giveaway, and that’s okay. I really love a good, traditional quilt book. My mother’s been quilting since the mid 70’s and she has a quilting library most quilt stores would salivate for. I don’t quilt (yet), but I enjoy a good fire, a warm Mama made quilt, and a stack of her awesome (and some out of print) books to browse.

I love the log cabin blocks!!! Mainly because it holds a traditional memory for me…the first quilt my mother-in-law made, given to us as a wedding present. I’m a “newbie” quilter — feeling very inspired. Would love to drool over these books. thanks for the fun giveaway and all the inspiration!!!!!

It’s very hard to pick a favorite block. I’ll go with a 9 patch, as that’s what I’m working on right now.

I actually have two favorite blocks. The nine patch because I love the simplicity and how it can be interpreted so many ways just through fabric choice. The pinwheel block I love because of the movement inherent in the block and how that can be manipulated across a quilt. Both of these blocks remind me of quilts made by my great-grandmother.

Wow there are a lot of comments here! I just went over to this website: http://www.blockcentral.com/blocklibrary.shtml and the spider is so neat. There are so many different patterns that jump out of it depending on how you look at it.

I like this question, because it made me stop to think about which block I would choose as my favourite. There are so many blocks that I love, but I guess if I had to chose only one, it would be the log cabin. I like it’s versatality. I like how you can put the blocks together in many different ways, and how it conveys different feelings in each different setting. At it’s heart, it conveys house, home, hearth – what’s not to love about that.

Thanks for your generosity and kindness in your giveaways.
