That's a very interesting method of making the block. It is so amazing how designers come up with these methods. Thanks for sharing the link.

Thank you for asking about this! Perfect solution to a baby quilt I've been trying to settle on a pattern for. Downloaded & saved!

Scroll down to where it says "For A Limited Time" and you can download the pattern (for, well, a limited time): ;-)

Great pattern, great designer!

What do you think about combining this block with a disappearing four patch? I'm working on a d4p right now and I think it might be interesting to either alternate the two or maybe feature this block in every other row surrounding the center of the quilt.

I'll have to convert it to a larger size, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

Any thoughts?

I think it would totally stop the flow of the blocks. JMHO

Depending on the coloring, you can some neat secondary designs/patterns without a 2nd different block.

Just do a Google image search and you'll see a few different variations:
I'm not even crazy about the one with the sashing.

Thanks MTS! I'll do some searching. My d4p does have sashing, but I'll have to play with it in EQ and, as you suggested, Google it.

Oops, sorry, I wasn't referencing the D4P in regard to the sashing.

So now it's a bunch of quilt blocks with sashing.
Meh.

I just think, personally, JMHO, in the case of this block, they look better without anything else mixed in.

You are absolutely right about the arrowhead. I saw some two color ones that were beautiful. I'll definitely use that block separately, maybe in my next quilt.

Thanks!
