I'm scrolling block by block to find the block used in this quilt. I'm dizzy with wonderful blocks but I haven't found this one yet. Maybe some of you know the name of the block off the top of your head?

PaperPrincess

don't know what the name of it is, but it's a pretty simple block, all squares and flying geese (or HST). Since it's an 8X8 grid, you can make an 8" block with the small squares finishing at 1" or a 16" block with the small squares finishing at 2"

THanks so much PaperPrincess. I did not see that it was on an 8 x 8 grid.... THanks for taking the time to sketch out for me. I've printed it and will figure out for a queen size quilt...

I do volunteer sewing for a hand quilting group. Most are very senior and don't sew much any more. But they value their social time every week by hand quilting a raffle quilt... I have been sewing raffle quilt tops for them for 10 years. They came to me with this one. I like it...

You are welcome. I just got EQ7 last week and am just looking for opportunities to use it! Glad to have helped.

I have a book that identifies the block as Blackford's Beauty. I think it is a beauty!
