I was going through some old hand made templates of my Grandmother and found this picture. I have never heard of this block. Looks like it is really hard. Thanks,

No, but it looks like it could make a really pretty quilt.

Very interesting block. My guess is was designed to hand piece. Thanks for sharing the little gem in the quilt world:)

Definitely looks to be a hand piecing project. I agree with Lisa it would make a very pretty quilt. Thanks for showing it to us.

It's block #2983 in Barbara Brackman's BlockBase

Apparently first attributed to Nancy Page designs.

It would be easy to machine piece if you made the center block 4 triangles. Then you would just piece each quarter of the block and sew together.

It's a very interesting block. Would be nice to know it's history.
