Looking for name of this block
 

Anyone know the name of this block? Every time I go into this store, this pillow calls to me....

They look like paper pieced cactus flower-try googling free paper piecing patterns-I forget which designes I found something like this under but there were a ton of patterns there. Good luck

If the store has an online site, it might be listed, with a name.

They have an online presence, but it's a regional chain and there's no info about the displays in each store. The employees don't know what it is, apparently the employee who made it no longer works there.

I'm pretty sure it's the Mexican Star pattern.

According to Barbara Brackman it's a Tennessee Tulip (Bets Ramsey design 1981) . Looks like it's been slightly modified here, which is not uncommon in quilted items that have been imported, as this pillow may have been.

Okay, you all want a good laugh? I can't believe I did this. I'm just too stupid to live. Not only did I know the name of this block (Cross and Crown), I'VE ALREADY MADE AN ENTIRE QUILT FULL OF THESE BLOCKS! Back in October 2010!

Giving myself a V-8 smack in the head....

Awesome! It is funny how that happens~its what makes this quilting thing so much fun! Change a color turn a block and its a whole new world! =)

Too funny! Sounds like something I would do.

The pillow in the store must have been saying, "remember me, remember me".

LOL. Funny! Here is a link from Quilterscache.com for the pattern. I love that pillow and the coloring.

that is just TOO funny....I knew the name though..hehehe
PS...this one is just lovely! My fave colors though..ehhehe

I think that's why the pillow "was calling you", lol! Sounds like something I'd do. That pillow has the blocks turned on point, and that often throws me off, too. They aren't on point in the quilt you made. (It's true, and a good excuse--run with it!) :D

It's certainly some sort of flower, but I don't know which one

:) You are soooooo not alone :)

I'm sure that is what it was saying. Or maybe, "You already did a better version of this pattern." Thank you for sharing it.

No wonder you liked it!!!

How time flies when you are having fun.:D

What a beautiful quilt! No wonder you were drawn to that pillow.

It's not exactly Cross and Crown. I made up a PDF from EQ for you.

Lynda!!! You are SO AWESOME!!!! I was just sitting down to mess with Cross and Crown in EQ, and decided to check the board first - and here you are with the block already done!! Thank you!!!

It must mean that it is time to make another one.

No problem, Peggi! Is there a way I can export the block in EQ? That way you can play with the size.

Lynda

Well, you can export it, but I don't think there's a way you can save it as an attachment to this board. It would have to be a file you can either email directly, or save to a central location that we can both access. However, I've already recreated it in EQ using your pdf, so no worries! :thumbup:

I love it! It shows that you do truly like this block. Also, I think your quilt is wonderful.

Glad you remembered! It is a beauty!

Not exactly the same as what you did in your quilt Peggi. When I first saw it I thought it was Goose Tracks. But there is a variation in the pillow's block. How kind and generous of Lynda to recreate in EQ. it is a beautiful block.

No wonder you were attracted to it!

I may not be looking at this correctly, but I don't think it's the same pattern. On the quilt you made, isn't there a square at the base of each flower? The pillow seems to have "leaves" instead of that square. (I think!)

That is a b-u-tiful green, blue and wht. quilt!! I love it! And as someone said, change to colors and it looks like an entirely different pattern.

No wonder the pillow was talking to you! Oh the tricks our mind plays on us! hehehe!

That makes two of us!!!

LOL! No wonder you like the pillow pattern! Oh, I am so glad to find out that I'm not the only one!

Ooooooooooh... what a spectacular quilt. What's the name of the pattern? LOL! I'm just giving your grief! Don't feel bad... sometimes I do things that make me wonder if I'm the dumbest person alive or what?!?

I can see why it calls you. It's very pretty.

ha ha ha ha!!!! Funny! So glad you shared - now we can ALL see it in two color schemes:)

Beleive it is on Quilters Cache as a 12" block -- Tulip Lady Fingers....in joy -- it's lovely.
