I’ve been looking for a quilt pattern to work on that I can hand piece and take my time with. I love hand piecing in the evening. I find it relaxing. The Spools pattern is one that many quilters are working on right now. It’s a possibility! As I surf around the Internet though, I am finding many different variations on this pattern. Some have more pieces than others. Which to do?
Here is a lovely start that I found at Valentina’s Corner. 
Here are a variety of blocks I found at Google Images:
Have you made a Spool Quilt? If so, what pattern did you use? 5 pieces in the block? 13 pieces?
Let us know by leaving a comment, below.

Never have made one of these – I love to look at traditional quilts, but don't really want to make them, lol.
