Name of this block?
 

Good Morning

Is there anyone that could help me with the name of this block? I'm specifically looking for a tutorial for one like this where the pink and red blocks are all one piece instead of being pieced together?

I'm a newbie to quilting so haven't a clue :o Thank you!

It looks like this is her orginal pattern she designed. She has a listing for a digital download for the pattern for this quilt block. The block name given is Provencial Star Block. Hope this helps.

Since you are new to quilting, I do not think this is appropriate to you. It would really frustrate you. I would suggest you do something with squares or half square triangles first. Google. There are lots to choose from. Then when you are more experienced you can try this. You could do this with y seams with the red and pink as one piece or have the pink and red as two pieces of the same color or you could paper piece. Good luck.

I think I would just buy the down-load for the pattern.

From the original link, it looks like it was assembled it with no y-seams .

Not impossible for a newbie - just requires paying attention

Thanks everyone! I wasn't going to buy the pattern because I don't want the rest of the star, just need to know how to do the pink and red blocks. Having thought about it though, with my lack of experience, I think I'm going to buy the pattern anyway because I do like the block. Then I have it for future use as well as the instructions on how to put it all together. Thanks for the advice :thumbup:

Just looked at the pattern for sale. The block is paper pieced, and it looks like she doesn't give much instruction, just tells you to look online for more info. If you do decide to proceed, do look at paper piecing tutorials before ordering to see if it's something you would like to try. It's not hard, and it does produce nice sharp points, but it's confusing for some.
.... Ok, after reading your second post, it sounds like you are just interested in doing the pink and red patches. They are basically snowball blocks, with only 2 corners snow balled. The technique you use is 'flippy corners'. You start with the pink rectangle the size of the finished patch. You will have to experiment with the size of the small squares for the corners. Here's a tutorial.

Well....I agree with the comments if you are really new to perhaps try something a bit more simple, but I have to ask: Are you comfortable with sewing skills? If you've been sewing for a while, and quilting is new to you, this 'might' be okay to try? The only reason I am saying this is I jumped into my first quilt and the woman I took it to for the longarm quilting about dropped her jaw because of what I chose for my first one.....but....I'm kinda like that :) You can always try one block and see how you feel it turned out before cutting out the rest, too. Use stash fabrics and don't waste your chosen good ones.....it isn't going to hurt. Good luck and welcome to the madness called Quilting!

I say go for it. Why not do one block. If it's too difficult, you just move on to another. Don't let others set your limitations for you. What may be difficult for one who has been doing it for years may not be so difficult for a newbie. Too many videos out there to assist you.

looks like the tutorial link got left off...

Good Morning Vicki. If you are a newbie, I would suggest you avoid this block. Take a close look at the bottom seam and you will see it curve. The lower blue HSTs is definitely kinked. If you wanted to make just one block, I would make it using PPing. Cut the center diagonal section into one piece and then do what is on each side as a separate unit. Not sure if that would work, but you get much more accurate piecing with PP.

I drew the block on EQ7. The block is in 5 sections so I don't know how she made a 12" block. It naturally is a 10" block. Here is my drawing along with how to do one with using PPing technique.

The pattern being sold is done with paper piecing also. Because of that, the size of the block is not restricted to easy measurements.

It is possible to assemble this block doing "regular" piecing, also.

Wow :D:D Now I know I'm being too ambitious! I'm going to store this block on my computer for future as I really like it but I'm being such a perfectionist (not a good idea) with my piecing at that moment that if I landed up with a wonky seam it would drive me crazy. Thank you everyone for your valuable input, especially ManiacQuilter2 for your excellent explanation.

Separate the pieces of the block on the diagonal. The center long piece is made easily with no Y seams. Then tackle the side pieces, which also can be made with no diagonals. Then you just sew the three pieces together. The breakdown in post 11 shows how the small pieces are put together.
Trying to make it into a 12 inch block is another story.

She does indicate that it is foundation pieced which accounts for the 'different' look.

The name of the block is Providence. None of the following are paper pieced.

10" block from Quilter's Cache: http://www.quilterscache.com/P/ProvidenceQuilt.html

12" block from McCall's: http://www.mccallsquilting.com/qb/mc...207/index.html

15" block from Ludlow Quilt and Sew (with video): http://ludlowquiltandsew.co.uk/tag/p...e-quilt-block/

PS: Can any one tell me why the word quilt in the third option automatically linked to Ebay? Is there a way to turn than off?

Not exactly a newbie but I have absolutely no luck when trying to paper piece, multiple times. I guess my brain is just not wired to paper piece But this one http://www.mccallsquilting.com/qb/mc...207/index.html definitely seems doable. Just do one section at a time. Also it shows you how to do your pink and red blocks. Good luck. Yea, try one block first, maybe with scraps, just to see if it is doable or you hate it LOL. Watch those bias cut and starch, to help with bias stretching!

This is not the same block but looks similar and is complete with a tutorial. http://www.abrightcorner.com/2015/05...-tutorial.html

this pattern in in the quilter's cache and is called providence something..(I think providence square)

I would not attempt that pattern. I have been quilting 50 years. I can tell by the puckers it is not easy.
