My wife Linda pointed out that none of the patterns contain a Nine Patch block but they do contain Snowball blocks. That, of course, is exactly what you were trying to tell me.<br /><br />I've changed the introduction and the discrepancy has been corrected.Wayne Kollingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011643924846256260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697626252832711006.post-79450369138505450822015-12-27T10:55:30.904-07:002015-12-27T10:55:30.904-07:00Gina

But I never stopped to realize that they could be used in my three block quilts. Thanks for pointing that out.<br /><br />I've done 4 Three Block Quilts posts using different block combinations each time. So far I've used Drunkard's Path, Friendship Star, Nine Patch,Shoo Fly and Snowball blocks. Any suggestions as to what I should try next?Wayne Kollingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011643924846256260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697626252832711006.post-47500608802391976812015-12-27T08:03:26.107-07:002015-12-27T08:03:26.107-07:00Hi Wayne, I enjoy seeing these 3 block constructio...Hi Wayne, I enjoy seeing these 3 block constructions because I like to assemble quilts for Quilts of Valour made from blocks sewn by people from across Canada, which are then collected in Edmonton, grouped into sets of approx 30 blocks, then sewn into quilts by volunteers. The individual blocks are called Hug Blocks, and a quilt sewn from the hug blocks is called a Hugs Across the Nation quilt when presented to an injured Canadian Armed Forces member, or to a CAF Veteran.<br />However, I see in this post that the 9 Patch has been replaced with the modified Snowball block from 3 Block Quilt #3. Am I correct? Doesn't matter as it's all beautiful and all adaptable to the Hug Blocks. Thank you for the inspiration, Gina DeLorenziGina DeLorenzihttp://www.quiltsofvalour.canoreply@blogger.com
