I was able to open it and save it to my computer (about 12,000 kb). You can pm me and I can probably forward it to you or make a copy for you.
|
I sent you a PM. I drew the block in EQ. I can send you the block as templates if you want.

It looks like a snails trail pattern to me. Scraps were used, so it looks very different from most snails trails I ahve seen.

Hi quiltingbee12-
I don't think you will find the pattern; I tried double clicking on Peter stringham's name at the top of the link you provided and nothing came up. You might try contacting rising star quillters - I am sure that they must have contact info. However, I would encourage you to just wing it. Marcia Hohn has a fabulous site [QuiltersCache] with tons of free quilt block patterns. Monkey's Wrench is very similar to Snail's Trail and has a clearer 4Patch center. Go to her site and pull up the Monkey's Wrench pattern. That will give you most of your block. Then you can just add the trapezoids [or half hexagons] around your block. and then add the green background pieces. If you are uncertain of the size, copy the block that Maniac has very helpfully drawn for you, make it the size you want on your computer, then print out and cut out the pieces. Best of luck and thanks for the link, I will make it too. |

Try this site. It has a link to the free pattern that opened right up for me.

I am not particularly fond of monkey wrench or snail's trail, but this does make a rather unusual and lovely block. It would be great for using up a lot of scraps. |

With EQ7, you can print out any block to be PPed. The trouble is, there is no way of PPing a 4 patch (at least that I know of). So I printed this PP pattern as a 6" block so you all could see the basics. I am not sure what Peter did to get this quilt to be 50"x60". 15" blocks??
