I first saw this block on an episode of simply quilts. Boy I sure do miss that show. On the show is where I first saw
Eleanor Burns and her magical methods of piecing and ironing. I have since become quite a fan of hers. I would love to visit her San Marcos Store and if I ever get the chance to meet her in person I just might fall over with excitement. Anyways back to the block. I was so in love with her methods that I purchased her book
Egg Money Quilts which features the pattern Garden Walk or as some know it 54-40 or fight. Below are some examples I pulled from EQ7.
It's always interesting to see the different color variations. Sometimes the color variations are all that's different. Like below the first one is 54-40 or fight and the second one is Garden Patch. All of the pieces are the same but the colors and their values are different. Eleanor's garden walk is slightly different yet from these variations.
These next 2 are just variations. It's always interesting to see the breakdown of the block.
I have been working on my own Garden walk blocks using
Eleanor's templates and I just love it. I can't wait to see the finish product!
Thanks for reading♥
