When Blog2Print had a 50% off sale I seized the opportunity to publish my 20th DL2Q blog book. The site has sales often enough that I rarely, if ever, pay full price.
Here are two pair of pages from inside the book. The first page pair is images from the Oklahoma Quilt Show where my daughter had entered three quilts. The second page pair is at the Long Beach International Quilt Festival where my two granddaughters Vivian and Lillian were fascinated by the embroidery machines.
DianeLoves2Quilt - Vol. 20: June 16, 2023 - Jan 4, 2024
Volume 20 contains 253 pages over a time period of nearly 7 months in 21 posts. I am finally settled down into a comfortable number of posts and pages that I can generate each volume with a minimum of trial and error and the creation goes rather quickly. Picking the cover front and back photos and writing the dedication takes the most time. For this volume, I picked a cover design, Blue Swirls, that blended with the background at the entrance to the Long Beach International Quilt Festival quilt on the front and complemented all the blues of my daughter's quilt entry Story of the Sky on the back.
The Dedication for DianeLoves2Quilt - Vol. 20 and the subsequent Table of Contents read as follows:
Vol. 20 has quilt viewing at three shows: in Long Beach, CA, in Brentwood, CA, and in Oklahoma City, OK. I took my two granddaughters to the Long Beach show (their first). My daughter displayed three quilts of her own at the OK show. In this half-year I made one quilt and showed two previously made quilts at the couty fair.

- 200-250 pages is a comfortable thickness for holding and browsing
- the number of months covered depends on how long the posts are; I aim for 6-8 months
- 24 posts makes a one-page table of contents
These are links to previous volumes and reminders to what covers I selected. Volume 12 has the best, most complete, selection of hints. The post for Volume 19 has a cumulative overview of the previous 19 volumes.
