Jan Patek is one of my favorite quilters, and one of my favorite people.  For her, making quilts isn't about being a "famous quilter", and hanging on social media isn't about how many followers you have.  It's about being part of a community of like-minded makers. 

Since the quilts we choose to make reflect a big part of who we are, tell a part of our story, Jan's blocks always include elements that speak to her heart.  Beeskep and Flower is proof of that - it's Block 32. 

The block can be made in four sizes - 4", 6", 8" and 12" finished, and the instructions can be found on her blog - Jan Patek Quilts. 

Broken Dishes - Block No. 28. 

Jan's version of The Proposal - Jen's Block 27.

Bird & Urn - Jan's Block 18.
