My favorite block would be one that has any type of star in it…I love stars…

If I had to pick one favorite (I have many), I would probably pick the log cabin–I love all of the variations that I have seen determined by color placement. Unbelievably, it is still on my bucket list to make a log cabin quilt–for some reason, I’ve never gotten up the gumption to make one!

My favorite traditional block would probably be some version of a Nine-Patch. Reminds me of all those tic-tac-toe games I played growing up and there are so many variations.
I love spool blocks!
My favorite quilt block will always be the Nine Patch. When I was ten years old in the 1962, I asked all my neighbors for fabric and my mom taught me to hand sew a Nine Patch Block. Mom helped me put all the blocks together and Dad built a quilt frame. The best part is the whole family helped quilt, including my 2 older brothers. Lots of sore fingers later, we had a finished quilt and the best part is that I still have it today. Good memories!!
Being that I love to appliqué I would say that my favourite traditional block would be the Rose of Sharon.
