Focus On Design is my "every once in a while" feature here in the RCTQ Land. This it an opportunity to discuss the design specified. It is not the place to talk about sales, kids, chocolate, sewing machines, etc. Please discuss those in another thread. This is the place to Focus on Design!I try to include some links to the pattern I choose. Sometimes the only links are for quilts or patterns that are for sale. NAYY! I do NOT promote or endorse the products ... I just want some illustration to help our discussion. Please add your experiences, and/or links, as well as opinions. Thanks.(10 August 2006) Now we will discuss a traditional American design: Burgoyne Surrounded. This pattern allegedly commemorates a battle in New York, where American Colonists defeated English troops led by one General Burgoyne.Here is a link for antique traditional BSQ (scroll to quilt # 5&6.)

I order from Hamilton all the time, although I didn't realzie that they were online. The shipping is more online because they take credit cards. From the catalog it is a flat 3.50, no per book charge. They sometimes run out and will ask you if you want a refund or to wait. I try to order the really cheap books. I figure theses are no more expensive than buying magazines.

The cheap books are,I believe, buyouts from book clubs.

L>i like this block, never thot much about it til now.
