Last night I was leafing through Georgia Bonesteel's Easy Does It Quilts" (Oxmoor House, 1996) looking for ideas, and there on pages 119-121 were very, very clear, well-diagrammed instructions for what she calls a "Bow Tie Doll Quilt", made with three-dimensional 'bowtie' blocks: none other than "10-minute blocks". She doesn't claim it as an original block, she just applies it to a doll quilt.
Like dimensional wild geese blocks, dimensional pinwheels, yo-yos and prairie points, just to name a few, this lovely and versatile block most likely goes back a long, long way in quilting history!
