Love that blue & brown version! But I love Barbara's books.<br />Some years ago, I made a quilt in this pattern, 19th C. reproduction prints with light solid triangles; nearly all of our neighbors signed the blocks; we presented it to a couple (down the street) who had just adopted a baby girl.

From the museum's website I see there are amazing Inscriptions in the center blocks. I've always loved this block but hated the name "Snowflake".
