In the Scrappy Quilt Show thread a member posted two of her lovely quilts. I've written to her and have no response, she doesn't post often and may be busy with life. So I thought someone might recognize the pattern, if it might be a stand alone pattern or in a book. It looks so familiar but these days my memory is getting worser and worser :0)

Here is a link to the thread page, it's post #2348, http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...35936-118.html the second quilt she has posted. It appears to be maybe flannel, the pieces are all bordered in black.

Any info would be so helpful as I'd like to utilize a tote full of colorful scraps this way.

There is a free pattern some place out there for that one. I'm not able to check at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I printed it out. Hopefully someone can come up with the link for you.

That block is much easier than it looks – it consists of rectangles (the focus fabric) and black strips on two opposing sides. So let's say your focus block is 6"x4", and then you add 1" black to either side (I'm talking finished here, not allowing for seam allowances). You'd have a 6" square. Make two of them and set them side by side, placing one fabric focus vertical and one horizontal. Since they are both squares, they should match up nicely. The rectangular focus fabric only makes it look like the blocks are different sizes. Hope that makes sense!

I have a pattern similar that I think is called "Over and Under"

The done I have is Designed by Paula Hughes I found the cover picture but not the rest of the pattern, yet

Thank-you everyone for the information. I think that willferg I get what you are saying I'm going to try a couple of sample blocks to see if I do 'get' it. :0) I don't have the 'eye' to see patterns like you obviously do, I guess that is why I'm pattern dependent.

I appreciate everyone's input and links to the pattern on eBay.

QuiltnNan, now if only I remember your hint the next time, it's that memory thing again.

I have been wanting to make what is called Strip Tube piecing. I don't think that the quilter had any pattern in mind but just sewed a lot of strips together. You just have to decide how large of the blocks you want to make. They are really just simple HST. I Google STRIP TUBE PIECING and this PDF file had simple instructions. This technique using jelly roll strips but as in the photo of Scrappy Quilt show, she just used a variety of skinnier strips.
