Block Name?

Does this scrappy block have a name?

I imagine it can be made any size but wondered what would be the most practical - perhaps the centre strip could be 2.5 inches. A good way to use up jelly rolls.

I don't know but I love it and the fabrics too.

Looking at it from here it looks like it may be a challenge to line everything up?

I don't know the name of it either but I am making a very similar block. Mine has only 1 strip of white in the middle of the square.

I love it and the fabric but I would probably pull my hair out trying to match it!

I make small charity quilts and don’t stress too much when things don’t match up - but it’s nice when they do!

I tell myself the recipients won’t be bothered.

Don’t know the name of the block, but the method looks like a tube quilt. Google tube quilt and you’ll get a ton of free tutorials, fabric placement is key and you can achieve many different designs.

Me, too! But it is lovely.

It's the Double Crossed pattern by Amy Smart.

As seen in her blog - https://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2017...reat-utah.html

Well done dunster!

I saw the photo on Pinterest but hadn’t read the blog.

​It looks very similar to this weeks MSQC block that Jenny called Brick Yard. Pretty blocks!

This pattern is 'Double Crossed' by Amy Smart.

Edit: Oops. Should have read the replies first.

I think it will be beautiful. Lots of matching to do on the intersections. Make sure all are the same size and that will make it easier.

MamaLinda 09-01-2019 05:34 AM

Will be a great quilt, love your colors.

just janet 09-02-2019 09:30 AM

I agree with Tartan. I saw Jenny's tutorial this week. Doesn't seem to be much matching at all.

Lovely Quilt: The "Modified Snowball" (my term) is used in Arkansas Crossroads. I use this block, in scrappy form, in all kinds of quilts. Good way to use up those different size strips. Sometimes I put the same color down the middle, sometimes not. Mine never match, but your quilt does have that secondary pattern square in the middle where the corners meet.

I've made this quilt. The matching isn't too bad as long as you are careful with your 1/4" seams.

Love your quilt - the colours are beautiful. And what a perfect setting!

Super colours!

I would love to know what size are you making the blocks.
