I was at the local LA and a customer brought in a quilt that I havent seen the pattern for before. She said it was Square Dance and she found it in a bbok but couldnt remember the name of. Can anyone help me find the pattern, I have searched and still cant find it.
It was all 2 1/2 inch squares, lights and darks almost in a diamond patterns.

I had a bit of a look and the images that come up for square dance look very similar to quilts made using the twister tool.

Was it like this?

If you google 'square dance quilt pattern' you get several block that are completely different. May be you recognise one of them?

Faster yet, do a Google image search for Square Dance Quilt. You can then find the sites that have photos that match what you saw.

Bonnie, that looks like its made with 2 1/2" X 4 1/2" strips with a 2 1/2" square at one end stitched to make a triangle . sew two of these together (opposite direction) to make a square, that looks like its the only block, just twist it around.
Clear as mud?

Interesting. I found a pattern in my files called "Square Dance" and it isn't like any of these. It is created by Bits 'n Pieces and made with simple 5" squares and 4-patches. Could this be the one? PM me if you'd like more information.

That's easy peasy.
Looks like it's made up of a bunch of 9 or 16-patch blocks.
As long as you have good contrast between your lights and darks, that will be a successful quilt.

And portions of it can be done with strip piecing.

Give me a moment......

It looks like Bonnie Hunter's free pattern. on Quiltville.com. I'll have a look through to see if I can find it.
