Any idea where I can find this pattern? It's fabulous!
 
I've tried several times to post the picture, but can't. It's posted on flickr (which I never use and have no idea how I found this!) It is an amazing variation somehow on a drunkard's path block but to the "nth degree" in my opinion. I've looked everywhere I know to look on the web, and can't find if there is a designer or tutorial or ??

The woman "Laura333" posted it, but not being familiar with flickr, I don't know how to contact her.

Its like a double wedding ring on point sliced into 4 pieces? Looks like a DWR crossed with Drunkards path? Too busy for me.

I think another name for it is a melon block.

I've had several replies/answers to my question about this fabulous quilt and the block it's made of. (I agree with you, maryellen2u!) Thanks to all of you for searching the web and pics and everything. After staring at it and analyzing my socks off, I've decided I think I can make it doing the following. I'll make 2 drunkard's path blocks, put them together (sort of like making a HST) mark the center diagonal, and sew down 1/4 inch from the middle, diagonally on both sides. The key is to sew on the diagonal thru the two quarter circles. Then I should have two blocks, each different, with a partial melon shape in the center. Not sure how to get the tiny pinwheel on the ends though, that may make me crazy. Anyway, I'm going to give it a try.

Did you see these melon templates? They may be extremely useful. http://www.kayewood.com/item/Melon_B...h_Designs/1789

The 52 journal quilts on the FriedaQuilter site are also very pretty.
