    What IS the name of this block?

    There are so many knowledgable, talented people here that maybe someone can help.
    This is a 10.5" BOM by AZPatch for June 2000 - the month and year my youngest was born. It was called Victorian Magnolia, but I canot find a free online 12.5 " pattern by that name. And my math skills are very rusted.
    Any help will be appreciated!

    I think you may find it difficult to make a 12.5 (12" finished block). I would interpret it as 9 patch with sashing and a green cornerstone. If you look at it as a single block, it's a 7X7 patch which would be difficult to do as a 12 inch block without really strange measurements. would you settle for a 14" (finished) block? If so, the small squares would finish at 2".

    i think paper princess may be right on the math but it can be done with some work. here is an adaptation.
    http://www.quilterscache.com/C/CrossandCrownBlock.html

    or to adapt this block pattern you could make the center strip/square at 2.5"unfin(2" fin) and the other six sections are cut at 2.25"uf (1.75"f). this would get you to 12.5"uf block

    Kind of looks like a variation of a Bear's Paw to me.

    Here are the instructions to make it 12" finished size. The math isn't as funky as I thought it was going to be: Name:  Capture.JPG

    There is a Pink Magnolia block that looks very similar and it give instructions for sizes 8", 9", 10" and 12"......look at it on www.MultiPatch.com. Hope that helps, Terry!
