    Default Name of quilt

    Awhile ago I saw a quilt on Facebook. I would like to make, can't remember setting. It was HSTs with a 2.5 inch white square in opposite corners and that's all I remember. Anyone know name of quilt.

    I remember somethig like that recently, but I'm thinking that it was a block made from flying geese and a triangle sewn together. Of course we may be remembering two totally different blocks. Maybe someone else will chime in with the correct answer.

    Maybe some variation on Old Maid's Puzzle or Anvil blocks?? Many different looks can be made by color selection and twisting and turning the blocks. Otherwise -- need a bit more to go on.

    It might be worth taking a stroll through ...
    https://www.quilterscache.com/

    Your description could describe oh so many blocks!
    What I do to track things of interest, is to snip photos/blocks/quilts/etc., with or without links. Then save them in computer files labelled as ... Files-LogCabins, Files-HSTs, and so on!

    Good Luck in your quest!

    I saw that, too, but darned if I can find it now. I am in too many quilting groups, lol.

    Here are some pics from Pinterest that may help. There are 2 @ this link, from GEDesigns, but no mention of a pattern. Click the arrow on the side of the photo to get to the other layout for the squares. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/985231162219576/

    Ugh. There was also one that was laid out more like the one from FB, and was in blue and green as well. But now I've lost the link!. If you look at the ones above, you'll see how blocks are made. It's the layout that was different, going diagonally from corner to corner.

    Thank you all for your suggestions. Just got lost on quilterscache and Pinterest. Not doing well moving from my PC to tablet, lost everything (quilting sites),such a personal loss.lol. I feel like the name of quilt was someone's name, maybe Aunt Bessy's block, course I am probably wrong on that.

    Could you draw the block on graph paper (or plain paper, if you do not have graph paper - and post that - and then maybe someone can give you a more definitive answer?
