Eleanor Burns hosts a year-long block party that is available via livestream on her website. This book is the collection of the patterns plus from 2012. When Eleanor was considering the topic for 2012, someone suggested she create blocks named after food. That was followed by a suggestion that she add in a cooking lesson. You’ll find 6″ and 12″ blocks for Melon Patch and Broken Dishes among others, as well as a 20″ block for Cherry Basket. Of course, they’ll all combine into a large sampler quilt. If a sampler isn’t your choice, you’ll find direction for lots of full-size quilts and wall hangings from the blocks. In addition to the quilt blocks, you can enjoy the recipes that inspired each. The book includes a wire binding so it can lay flat and lots of full-color illustrations to ensure success with your project.
