Square in a Square #1

I don't know if this block has a name so I'm calling it square in a square.

I had the crazy idea to make a king sized quilt in this pattern.  But I first wanted to try a smaller version to make sure I liked the block.  I'm really pleased with the results.

Every fabric in this quilt is a polka dot print. It measures 32"x40" - the perfect size for a crib or toddler bed.

Hi, my name is Linda.  I'm a quilter, crafter, former engineer and current stay-at-home mom.  I live in Silicon Valley with my husband and daughter.

Square in a Square #1

This is my second blog.  The first is www.farmerinthevale.com.  When I started blogging I wasn't sure what my focus should be (cooking, crafts, quilting, etc) so farmerinthevale has a little bit of everything.  That was BC (before Charlotte) and I had a lot of time to make quilts, develop recipes and so forth.  Now I don't have a lot of spare time so I need to focus!

Who is Empress Charlotte?  We gave my daughter the nickname of Empress when it became obvious that she was very confident in her opinions and not afraid to give orders.  She's lived up to her name!

I hope you enjoy my blog.
