Is this the 10 min block?
It looks like the 10 min block but she is showing more how she sewed the edge differently than how the block is made.

I don't really know but I love the quilts she made!!
|
yes it looks like it........
|
Yes, that is the 10 minute block. She just gave it a different look by the way she rolled the edges and stitched them. Very attractive.
|
It does a appear to be copied from the 10 minute block, that was copied from the faux Bow Tie block before that. She just divided it into more sections when she sewed back the edges.
|
Looks like it to me.
|
The way she folded her blocks is really pretty. Here's one of the videos made by Suzanne McNeill - you'll be able to find more:http://youtu.be/ZbTHlGGKMPM

Yes, it is the 10-minute block. Thanks for the link; I enjoyed seeing her quilt and the different way she curved the edges. This way it looks more like a screened panel than a cathedral window.
|
Yes I did the same pattern on one of my quilts .
|
The center back looks different from the Suzanne McNeil block to me. Isn't it?
|
Wow, I really like that variation. Thanks for the link! Another quilt on the bucket list, lol....
|
How big do you think the block is?
|
I have that pattern and it was published by Shelly Swanland in 2004. It's still on my bucket list but I'm glad to see it on here, maybe it will be scooted up to the top of the list! I too, have a lot of Fairy Frost fabric that would look so good in that pattern.

Are the side pieces actually curved or is that optical illusion?

I made a 10 minute block and it used five 10" blocks. So figure 19 1/2" finished??? I suppose you could make it with any size block.
|
Is there a site to go to that shows how she got the curved edges on the block?

I'm going to try that someday. Looks like fun.
|
Hmmm.. looks like they sewed the block together then sewed the top on like an applique.
Look Suzanne Mc Neil up on You Tube and see how she does the 10 minute block. I have her book on it and its different than what I learned. |
Yes, I would say so. I made a quilt with the 10 min. block and my blocks looked like your one which is smooth--Green I believe. However, I have seen others so there are several variations on the original. Any version I am sure is fine. Mine had the between blocks as snowballs, and also snowballs in the border. Have had lots of compliments on it, and it should be snuggly warm this Winter! Good luck with your project! Mariah

that's the 10 minute block with Pizzaz!
|
It is a 10 Minute block. I just made a whole top using them & did the cathedral roll on all of the centers. The idea of pinning the center & sewing down the sides is a great idea. I'll have to try that next time. These blocks are so quick to make. I love seeing them unfold to see how pretty they are.
|
Just a 'warning' - I think Suzanne McNeil suggests using 10" squares. When you use them this big, the block is very easy to construct. I used this technique with 5" squares and found them to take twice as long because the smaller pieces are harder to manipulate. Maybe 8 or 9" squares? Even 7" would help but then they aren't precuts which sure are easy to use.
|
The pattern is called "Snow Puzzle" by Shelley Swanland. The first time I left out the "e" in Shelley.
|
This is Shelley Swanland's design and I think she does it different than the 10 min. block. I will check my pattern.
|
It sure looks like the 10 minute block. I have done several of them.
|
That's very striking. Definitely "pin-able"!
|
Definitely a 10 minute block. She took the cathedral windows edges to a different level ... really pretty!
|
The back of the block doesn't look like Suzanne McNeil's "10 Minute Block", but the result does. Love the variation on Ms McNeil's method, it creates a gorgeous block.
|
It is a variation of the 10 Minute Block. I am doing mine with 5 inch squares and hand sewing the edges down like
the Cathedral Window block out of Batiks. The center block is lighter batiks and it is very colorful. I have 18 more blocks to make before I can put it together with 10 blocks across and 12 rows down and will put a 5 or 6 inch border around it. I hope to have it done before Christmas, and that includes having it quilted by a LA; maybe DD can figure out how to post a picture for me then. |
No not 10 min block as u see on the back side like its triangles but then again I may be wrong cause I'm not sure how the edge was turned over it it wasn't.....
|
Thanks Ngeorgia for sharing this site. I've bookmarked it to spend more time on later.
