Day 12: Simple Block Designs

Welcome to the last day of our 12 Days of Christmas contest! We hope you've enjoyed the project ideas you've seen here, as well as answering our trivia questions for a chance to win fat quarter bundles. Even though this contest is over, we hope you'll continue visiting our blog for tutorials, more information on our designers and new collections, and general sewing and quilting fun. 

Today we're sharing a project starter--some block-making inspiration. The instructions are for using 4" squares, but you can easily adapt to smaller or larger squares. Have fun!

  5. Antoinette has a quilt designed by Wendy Sheppard that's named after King Louis XIV's mom. I guess it's Antoinette (although research says his wife's name was Marie-Therese). Thanks again for a great blog, great info, and wonderful contest.

  10. I'm guessing it is Antoinette since there is a quilt named after his mother, Anne, using that collection.

    I didn't find any definite reference to King Louis's wives. Maria Theresa of Spain was his first wife and Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon was the second wife of King Louis XIV of France.
