Duh! I should have recognized it! Haven't looked at one for awhile.....googled it and there are a lot of variations of it but I think I like the one you did best. I LOVE the quilting motif you used on each block and tho you prob have a LA, it looks like one I could follow with a walking foot! I was able to save that pic large enough to be able to get a pattern off it. I can do HST's but haven't tried the quarter squares yet. I'm 81 and wish I'd saved fabric and scraps from years of sewing...clothes....too much moving around and no idea that someday I'd learn to quilt! And thanks for giving us the details of the block sizes etc.!
