    My favorite by 2 hairs is #1514 Jagged because it is so different. Having only sons and brothers and of all my parents 9 greatgrandchildren 8 are boys+1girl. That means quilts for nephews. This #1514 is a boy's block and I will be using it.(robinsbusiness@hotmail.com)

    My favorite block is #1538 Pentagon Wreath by Debby Kratovil. She chose a simpler design but with using the magnificent fabrics that she did; the block just becomes Magnificent! Plus, the block and her choice of fabrics also wants me to "play" with the fabrics and try them in so many layout possibilities!
