The blocks go in the order Mother taught them to me, the easy ones first. If you can sew a straight seam, you can start on page one.

These are pages from the book, shown small. In the book the print is large.
Each plan gives the finished size, how many blocks, how much fabric and how the blocks are set.
And three more: The Car Quilt, a lap robe from the easy blocks; The Cellar Quilt, a memory quilt from family clothes, with a pocket on the back; and The Forty, a sampler with every block in the book.
Mother made every quilt in our house out of printed feed sacks. She never owned a pattern book. She kept the blocks in her hands and in her head, and she put them in mine one at a time at the kitchen table, starting with a Nine Patch the winter I was six.
I am eighty-four now. There are forty quilts in the cedar chest, and I am the last one who knows how each of them goes together. So I drew the blocks out the way she taught them, wrote down the measurements she never wrote down, and put the story of each one beside it.
The old ways aren't lost, honey. They're just folded away in the chest.

If it isn't what you hoped, you get your money back. Reply to your receipt within 30 days and say so. No questions.
At checkout you can add the Kitchen Table Toolkit for $9: full-size templates to print for the curved and hand-sewn blocks, a one-page cutting card for every block, and all 40 blocks as line drawings to color and plan your own quilts. It is optional.
No. It is a PDF you download. You can read it on a screen or print it yourself. Nothing is shipped.
Part One is ten blocks with straight seams only, and they are in the order to learn them. Start with the Nine Patch. The blocks with curves and hand sewing are at the back, and they will wait for you.
Every cutting chart gives three finished sizes, so you can make a block small for a wall quilt or large for a bed quilt. All measurements are in inches and already include the quarter-inch seam.
No. Mother cut everything with scissors. The charts work the same with scissors and a ruler or with a rotary cutter and mat.
No. Any cotton print will do. The book tells you how to choose fabrics today that give the old feed-sack look.
With a credit or debit card. Payment is handled by Gumroad, a company that sells books and patterns for thousands of small makers. I never see your card number.
