Looking for a quilt pattern
 

Hi everyone, newbie here and am hoping someone can help me. Back in the 90s (maybe) I was working on a jeans quilt. It has about a 12 inch stair steps block on point for the center. There are 4 ,9 in triangles on the sides that make the block into a square.I'm sure this is mud clear. I thought the pattern came from a Great American Quilt book, but have looked through the ones I have( to 96)and have not found it. If anyone knows where I can find the pattern I would appreciate it.

Do you have a photo of it? If so, please post. That may help!

Hi and welcome. I understand the block on point with the 4 setting triangles, but have no clue what the center block is. As gingerd mentioned, it would be great if you could post a picture. There's a file size limitation so:

Could it be the one where you start w/ a large hst and cut it in strips and sew the strips so it forms a jagged stair step, I don't know the name of the block but it is an older block I believe.

Well I finally found it w/ the search term jagged this is what I was talking about http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...co0&ajaxhist=0

Is it delectable mountain? Sounds a little like it.

That's a Delectable Mountains? I have a pattern book around here somewhere.

I can take a picture but not sure how to get it on here. Can you tell me?

Not sure about the name. It was a pattern to use leftover or worn out jeans

Fairly simple pattern to make. For a 12 inch block you would use 2 inch strips. You will get very good at sewing 45 degree angles for the connection points between colors. Save the cutoffs, little HSTs are really cool in scrap quilts. The tricky part is for you to figure out how long to make the strips for each quarter block. Assuming 12 inch block again, the dark will be 1 1/2, 3, 4 1/2, and 6 inches FINISHED for each quarter block. That makes the raw pieces 2, 3 1/2, 5, and 6 1/2.
A lot of work but a nice looking quilt when you are finished.
Good luck.
