"Wow!!" according to
Mary. The site contains a "gazillion"
block patterns, it says. That is just
about right -- most traditional, some original
. All directions are for 12" blocks,
unless stated otherwise. Directions include
cutting directions, how to make a template for the
pattern (if necessary), how to press for easy final
piecing. It may also include setting options.
One page is an alphabetical listing of all the
blocks, which indicates level of difficulty and
whether block is pieced or appliqued.
