I enjoyed reading about your entrance into quilt blocks! My daughter @cassidydawn will be interested in this post as well. She is an artist with a current favorite focus in fabric arts, and she's almost done with her first block quilt. It's got a lot of different blocks on it that she has learned to make as the quilt has progressed!

Here in Appalachia we have some amazing quilt makers. In fact, there is an annual convention over in Pigeon Forge, TN that I found out about this past year and am going to attempt to take @cassidydawn to this coming year.

We also have something around here called barn quilts, where a large block is painted and up on a building, usually a barn. I am actually working on a mural design for the back of our house where my friend and I will be making a couple of quilt blocks in the mural. I am leaning towards some star designs.
