I had alot of fun with this quilt block.  I was making a baby quilt so I wanted it to be colorful.  I used six different fabrics in the Old Favorite quilt block, but you could use less fabrics and create a different look.  This is an easy block to sew.  You just want to make sure you square up your pieces after sewing each seam.  

Here is a picture of the completed quilt.  I like how the green blocks create another block when sewn together.  Have fun with this block and don't be afraid to try different variations with color and the number of fabrics.

Hearth and Home is an easy quilt block but impressive.  It is made up of squares, half square triangles and rectangles.  In Judy's book, "Around the Block with Judy Hopkins", she shows it with just two colors.  I wanted to be more adventurous and made the block with four colors.  Take a look: 

I was making this into a baby quilt so I wanted to use some fun colors.  I am pleased with the way it turned out.  Watch what happens when you sew the blocks together.  It gives you a grid effect.  That's the magic of quilting!

You can definitely have alot of fun with this quilt block.  
On to number 19...

Just a quick review:  I am currently making 200 quilts from my favorite quilt book, "Around the Block with Judy Hopkins".  In this book, Judy has 200 quilt blocks.  I am making the 200 quilts so you can see what the quilt blocks look like when you put them together.  This is my favorite quilt book because of the variety of blocks which all come in six different sizes.  So there is no math to figure out. 
King's Crown is a simple quilt block.  This is a good block to use when you have a fabric with a large print.  The center square is fairly large to show off your larger print.  Take a look:

Take a look at the four blocks together.  I have made a lap quilt with this pattern.  I only used three fabrics but it came out striking.  See what you think: 

For those of you new to my blog, I have started a project for myself to keep my quilting focused.  I am creating 200 quilts from my favorite quilt book, "Around the Block with Judy Hopkins".  One of the reasons I am doing this project is so quilters can see not only what the block looks like, but what the blocks look like when they are put together.  Many times the quilt block will make a new design when the blocks are put together. 
Quilt block number twelve is called Four Corners.  This was a special order I had for a cowgirl quilt.  It was alot of fun to make because it is not something I would ordinarily have made.

Here is the whole quilt:

Block number eleven is called Electric Fan.  To me they look like pinwheels.  There are different options you can choose when making a quilt with this block.  You can use different colors for each pinwheel and keep your second and third colors the same or you could change the positions of the medium and dark fabrics.  I chose to change the positions of the medium and the dark fabrics and use the same colors throughout.  Take a look:

I had played around with the colors but forgot to take pictures.  It was a challenge for me to use only three colors.  I always feel like it won't be enough.  However, I do love the simplicity of the quilt.  Here is what the actual block looks like:

When you first look at the pattern you don't realize you will be making pinwheels with the red print as well as the yellow.  That is one of the reasons I am making 200 quilts from the 200 blocks from my favorite quilt book, "Around the Block with Judy Hopkins".  It will allow quilters to see what the blocks can look like when put together.  Now on to block number 12.

Block number eight is called Broken Dishes.  It was another fun and easy block to make.  There aren't too many variations possible with this block with the exception of changing around the lights and darks, which I did. 

I love the colors in this block.  Unfortunately my camera did not pick up the true colors.  I am a quilter, not a photographer.  You will notice when you put four of these blocks together, the pattern can't be altered no matter which way you turn the blocks.  Many of the other blocks I have done will give you a different design on the quilt depending on which way you arrange the blocks.  It is not so with this block.  There is only one design.

This would have made a beautiful full quilt, but I chose to make a Lovie Lap Quilt with Pockets.  The Lovie Lap Quilt is my own design after visits with my grandmother in the nursing home. 

You can check out other Lovie Lap Quilts on my site.  So that's block number eight.  On to make quilt number nine.
