Amazing how different those blocks look with different color schemes.

Wow incredible response to my request, THANK-YOU ALL so very, very much! By George I think I've got it! The illusion of the interlocking blocks is truly fascinating to me and yes, I agree the color schemes make such a difference.

Hugs to all!

This is the pattern. The whole story is that my niece was looking thru books at JoAnn's. Saw this and said "Aunt Dolly, can you design this"? I have Eleanor Burns book "Snowball Quilts". Using that as a starting point, I figured out the blocks on my yellow scratch pad. My notes are very rough. Here are a couple more w/that pattern.

This is the quilt that started this. The one that my niece made for her mother.

I love this. Thank you. I have printed it out and am all ready to start. Of course I have to finish two and make a baby quilt but it is in my line-up.
