I have put together this gallery so I can show off all the quilt blocks I have completed in my quest to complete all the quilt blocks in Maggi McCormick Gordon’s 1000 Great Quilt Blocks. The numbers in the captions relate to the block numbers in the book.

  3. Congratulations Helen,
    This is just wonderful to browse through. I like looking at your choice of fabrics and am looking forward to seeing a quilt – I wonder which ones you will choose!! cheers Adrienne in Eltham

    • Thanks Adrienne. I am currently making plans for what I am going to do with them all and trying to think of ways to do sampler quilts to make them a bit more interesting

    • Hi Glynis, the blocks are all different sizes. I started out trying to redraft to 4 and 8 inches, so a lot of them are that size. Some of them wouldn’t sensibly fit that size so are bigger, but I tried to keep blocks in the same fabric the same size so they would all go together.
