They didn't say exactly when, but I believe it will show up on the Daily Blog sometime today. Yes, I agree, it was fun and I love the opportunity for the cyberspacers to be able to win some goodies! We can all keep our fingers crossed!

When are they going to post the results of our Pop Quiz? I really thought this was fun and intriguing. I love the idea that someone out here in cyberspace will be winning goodies from the show. Good luck everyone.

Well, I stuck it out and made up names when I couldn't find right answer.
What was interesting to me is the wealth of knowledge out in quilt land. I didn't know there was an encyclopedia nor did I know that there were so many websites dealing with blocks. And realizing that I am such a novice at block recognition. I usually just find a pattern and make the quilt without knowing the name of the block.
I want to send a great big thank you to those who responded publicly and privately to my query as I was ready to call it a day. But, hey, I want to win a goody bag. Judy in AZ

I didn't take it too seriously! I just wrote down whatever popped into my head - it's just for fun! I looked up a few afterwards; but since they don't have to be right, don't stress it! You could write the silliest answer, and it would be just as fun as the right answer, in my book. And besides, I want to compete for that bag of goodies!

The DGC are precious, but I'm looking forward to heading home tomorrow afternoon! Judy, the Brackman Encyclopedia, I believe, is published through the American Quilters Society. (The Paducah people) I've seen it sold at quilt shows and quilt stores, too. Judy in Torrance

Thanks, Judy, unfortunately I don't have that book so am resorting to websites. I have no clue as to the majority of the names although have seen them. Lucky for all of you who know your history.
Having fun with the DGC? Judy in AZ

Judy, I always use Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns. It has line drawings of hundreds of blocks along with the earliest known source for the pattern and the many names by which the block is called. I'm a real nut for history and names of patterns. I've read that quilt blocks were not given names until the 20th century, but I read a book by Linda Otto Lipsett several years ago (I think it was named Ellen's Quilt???--I have it at home) and in the book, Ellen mentions in a letter to her sister (late 1800's) the name of a block she was working on. The name is unfamiliar to all of us today, so we'll never know what the block looked like. Lynn, the block names don't have to be completely right and they didn't say we couldn't make up our own names, did they? I'm babysitting four of my grandchildren this weekend, so I don't have my trusty encyclopedia with me and I'll have to resort to the EQ 5 on my computer.

I recognized a few of them, but some I've never seen before. My husband happened to walk behind me while I was looking at them. He said they look like they were made from feed sacks. lol. I told him some might have been. Sandi in FL

Lynn, I thought that you could send in a partial list as I don't know most of them. But I reread the rules. You have to have 30 answers, although they all don't have to be correct to enter. I have too many blanks to even continue. So I think I will stop here, too. Judy in AZ who needs to go to quilt block recognition class

It is fascinating looking at the blocks and the women crossing the prairies scenario gets my imagination going. How hard it must have been for them and how precious their fabric must have been. Almost makes me ashamed of my stash (almost). Gloria home from a new to me quilt shop where I was only going to buy a 1/3 of a yard of navy (like that happened)

Well, I don't know them, don't care too much about the names - so I'll pass on this one! Boo Hoo. Would love a goody bag but not enuf hours in the day to look up all of them! I'd rather quilt. ha

I do enjoy them tho seeing them made out of such old fabrics. That is really cool!

I have the Encyclopedia / Block Base EQ... I can usually look through those to find what I want if a have a hint of the name. But blocks had multiple names depending upon the region you were from... names did not become somewhat consistent until they became published in the newspapers. Prior to that it was word of mouth as to the names of blocks.

I like to image pioneer women traveling across the prairie (sp) exchanging patterns when they met up in the small towns or at local functions, such as barn raising. They would exchange patterns and directions but when they got home or to the next town the name gets changed.

Thanks. I googled the quilter cache site and found the block quiz and that will help if the rest of the 30 are on that little site. Judy in AZ

Judy, here are a couple of sites that have lots of blocks (free patterns): http://www.quiltbus.com/Free-Quilt-Blocks.htm

It's fun to look at them all. They really have me stumped on a couple of those blocks. Some of them are ones I've never seen.
