    Looking for Pattern

    Can someone please tell me the pattern name for a simple "girl or lady" block I have seen many times. It has a square for the head, arms outstretched to the sides, a square for the legs and a triangle shape for the dress. MANY THX!

    I think I know what you mean. It almost looks like the paper dolls we used to cut out of folded paper so they were holding hands...
    sort of like this:

    That one pattern taht was given (artfire) isn't the same layout as the one that was written about in the first link. But it wouldn't be hard to figure out. It is a snowballed head, HST and rail fences, as far as I can tell.

    It amazes me how quickly some of you quilters can name and find patterns.
    Finished is better than a UFO

    me too! I love reading through the main articles each morning... I would probably get more sewing done if I spent less time looking at what every one else is doing.
    attitude is everything...the rest will fall into place.
