Another Quilt Block Needs a Name
4 Attachment(s)
When I design I end up with several versions of the same block and I have a hard time some times deciding which one to use. So here are 3 versions of this quilt block.
I'd appreciate knowing which is your favorite and any name ideas would be more than welcome. I will be posting the tutorials when they are done. This one wont be available til July 1st. These quilt blocks are made with my shortcut methods. I came across a new idea for a new shortcut block I call Balkan Block. This is used to make these quilt blocks. I'm having fun exploring this new shortcut block and what it can do. I'll be posting a tutorial on this new shortcut block when it is written. You can check out my other shortcut blocks by using my links in my signature below.

I call it Balkan Block and if you are familiar with my shortcut methods then you might notice it is similar to my Boston Block.

I like the center one best. I might call it something after the zig zag in the blocks like Greased Lighting ( after the musical) or Electric Flash.
|
That's funny Tartan I had labeled the file Lightening. I have to put something for a title til I get the name i want to use. Yes it made me think of lightning too
|
I must agree with Tartan. I like both of the names she mentioned.

"Lightening Star"

I like the 3rd one best because the solid purple triangles appear to be pointing to the center of the block, thus drawing attention to it. I also think the design "shines" the most in that one. The yellow "outline" really grabs my focus in that one best.
I saw flashes of lightning in the purple zigzags when I first saw the block, so we're on thinking alike on this . |
I like the third one best. I would name it "Courtyard" -or some variation thereof. It reminds me of the Spanish style homes I visited while living in Mexico, those those that completely surrounded a courtyard with lots of open space, edged with flowers, and perhaps having a fountain or two...

They are all stunning, but I prefer #3 also. It's looks a little "cleaner." The center design stands out more clearly. I think Sewbizgirl's suggestion, Lightning Star, is good.
|
The first thing that popped into my head was "Lightning Strikes".
|
I like #3, but it reminds me of twisted ribbons, kind of like the ornaments or bows I see at Christmas.
