I don't know the name but I have made it before. I know I got it from Quilters' Cache. It's usually used in conjunction with another block as a quarter of a block - if that makes sense.

I think the trick is that the side triangles are cut from a rectangle...that's what keeps the points right. I am usually pretty good at putting a block on graph paper, but I also knew it wouldn't work so well with this pattern. I think I've got it now, thanks to all the wonderful links you all have provided!

and fyi-if you go to Bonnie Hunters site she has a section-think it's called tips and techniques- that explains things and has a chart to say if you want to set a block on point for instance-start with your 4" block and you need a ___" inch to set it on point.

Thanks, but I don't see any information to determine sizing. I'd like to know if the small square is say 2" finished, how big should I cut the small triangles (or the square I cut in half to make them) and how big should I cut the big triangle?

I've seen it referred to Hidden Square but I'm not sure.
Here's a tutorial that I've saved. http://bronzewombat.blogspot.ca/2011...gle-block.html Sharon |
I've seen this block called "shaded four patch."

Love the links provided in this thread for this technique.
Especially helpful is this one so the units can be made in various sizes: And last a calculator to make the size that you want. http://phoenixquiltguild.org/meeting...sTriangle.html |
