Have you tried The Quilters Cache? It has lots of blocks, by size,, name ,etc. You might find this block there. I really think it is the one in Blue Mountain Guild. Lots of nanes are given to the same block, but it has the exact number of star points, etc. The Quilters Cache has lots of other useful information too.

Does anyone else hate how quilt magazines give each quilt an individual name, yet even when the block pattern is clearly a traditional one, often don't say the name of the block pattern?

btw, Marilyn, awesome block. :thumbup:

Why didn't I think of that? Thanks. My name is not Marilyn but I'll give it a try. Otherwise I'll just go knock on her door. :-D

Hi EasyPeezy, glad that helps, did you get a chance to try it? btw, The second part of my message was addressed to the poster named Marilyn that showed you a photo of her block as an example. Thought I could save time posting to the both of you at one time. Sorry that I confused you. Take Care, Maribeth

I found a very similar block at http://www.azpatch.com/bom/bom2008/03mar08/bom08mar.htm They call it Spring Posies. If you flip the little green "leaf" triangle 180 degrees, I think it is like your tablerunner block.

Then you'll have the rotary cutting and foundation piecing templates to make your own variation and name it whatever you want!

Itis very close to both the lone star and the arrowhead blocks. I have seen variations of both. Did you make this?

Whatever the true name is for the block, your table runner is beautiful.. I hope that I get that good a quilting someday.

I dont understand the need to re-name each block? I read one place its this, and another its that?(speaking of the Monkey Wrench) How is everyone suppose to keep up with what is what this way? Could it be because of the color of the block that they can change the name also? Makes no sense what so ever?

being new to quilting, it makes matters worse when u try to tell someone what block ur working on, and explain it, they never heard of it??
