Thank you so very much. So it IS a pieced pattern as I'd first thought! Now hopefully I can find the pattern! I appreciate your time. Can you give me the ESPN # for your reference book? I'd love to purchase copy of it. Thanks again. Jan

I don't have EQ as I'm older and not too tech savy! Now you've got me thinking maybe I need to look into it. I see such neat stuff you ladies do with it. Is it a very complicated program to learn?

Information that I found directs me to Blockbase in EQ to find the patterns in this book so anyone who has Electric Quilt w/ Blockbase should have access to the pattern.

I can't indulge in the cost for the hard copy so will rely on the good people of the QB to help me out with unknown blocks and pattern info.

Thanks again for posting the quilt and block info.

I remember seeing it in another antique quilt before this one. I agree it should be revived. I'm thinking I'd like to make at least a pillow or maybe include it in a sampler quilt. Just need to find the pattern now. I'm so grateful for all the people on this board.

That's an old block. I know I have seen it before. If you find it in a modern pattern or place, let us know. I'd love to have it.

Thank you a million times! Got it and also love the other site for the 20 inch block. Might try it for a pillow sham. Will increase the templates for the 6" block by 100% for a 12" block, too. Doing a happy dance!
