Quilt Block 37 from "Around the Block with Judy Hopkins"

For those of you new to my blog, I am making 200 quilts from the 200 quilt blocks from "Around the Block with Judy Hopkins".  This is one of my favorite books.  I wanted to show what the quilts would look like when you had more than one block.  With certain quilt blocks you can get a whole different pattern when you have four or more blocks together even when it is the same block pattern.

Quilt Block 37 is called, "Aunt Dinah".  This isn't a difficult block, but I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner or first time quilter.  

Here is what the four blocks together look like. Youcould have alot of fun with this quilt block by changing the values of the fabrics.  I had my values too close together, not giving it that dramatic feel.  So next time I make this quilt block, I will know better.  

This is the main reason I am doing this blog.  If I had a picture of what the four blocks would look like from the start, I would have done more of a value change.  Give this block a try.  Have fun.
