I've made a geometric Baby Blocks by machine, using a 'cheaters' method. (Use the same fabric, more than one seam, and it blends into one diamond.) It wasn't simple, even then. (This method is easier.) The pattern, though a classic, is not for a beginner...unless you're willing to stumble a bit, and learn as you go.
Now this 19th century photo shows up on Ebay, most probably done by hand. The maker must have pieced this quilt for years!
No wonder she's so proud of it.
The photo's pricey...but amazing.
