Not sure if you mean my quilt thanks!.... but just in case you do, it is a variation of the Jacob's Ladder pattern, of which there are several. Basically it is made from 4 patches and HST in a 9 patch formation. Three 4 Patches running diagonally, with the HST placed with dark sides touching 4 Patches and two opposite corners turned dark side out which form the diamonds when blocks are turned...clear as mud?

:lol: :D
OK, Izy, you'll have to do a tutorial on this process now...because it is clear as mud! LOL!
Blessings,

You want me to do a tute on how to make a 4 patch or HST?? Oh come on you ALL know how to do that by now don't you?? LOL

It really is just the way you lay them out in the individual blocks, have a close look at these pictures and hopefully you can work it out!

;-)

This is eight blocks lay out, you can see how you turn the blocks to create the diamonds and cross pattern!
