I was looking through some of my quilt magazines trying to find a new pattern. Don't know what, but I'll know it when I see it. For the fabrics I had in mind this isn't it. :(
Anyway it is from the August 2008 American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. It is an Edyta Sitar pattern and is a 3-d pattern. Not hard, just not what I want for a whole quilt. In the mag. it is a table runner.
I'll add this to my future scrap quilt/pillow pile!

That's really cute!!!

It may not have been what you were looking for, but it sure turned out great!

It'll make a beautiful pillow, or a little throw or wallhanging.

What a neat idea...sort of like the 10 minute block....instead of the squares inbetween the blocks, looks like a large triangle folded and sewn the same way.....whoa!!! nother idea just popped into my head.

It is cute!

great block!

I love the effect.

I love the block!

Could be one of many sunflowers in different colors

Yes! That's what it is, a folded triangle between blades/petals. It wasn't difficult, but it was longer than 10 minutes! There are sixteen blades in the block, so lots of chain stitching to do. I did have problems with the pattern for the center not being big enough and I had to cut a new one.

it's pretty, though

It's pretty.

Pretty

I love this pattern :D:D:D

I love the 3D look! It's beautiful!

Really cute looks like a sunflower you should make a few more and add some stalks and leaves for a wall hanging

It is a pretty block. Hope you enjoy it when it moves from the ufo to the finished project whatever you end up making with it.

Why not make it the focal point of the quilt and build something equally as beautiful and compatible around it. I could never send that one to the scrap pile.

The fabrics used in this were from the scrap pile. It would have to be part of a scrap quilt, as there is very little of the orange and yellow left. Someday...

Very, very nice!!!

:thumbup: :thumbup:

cute

I like it! That is really cool.

I think your fabrics are perfect for this block and I love the dimentional effect!

I really like that. I may have to try & track down a copy of that magazine. Thanks for posting picture.

Nicely done! :)

It could look great in a country/garden theme sampler quilt .

You did some fine work on that one block, even if you don't think you'll use it in a quilt.

That is really a neat block, like how it stands out.

VEry nice block, how about a pillow or wall hanging?

Looks like a great start to me! :)

Interesting pattern!

That is beautiful.

Very pretty. :D

I like it, nice job.

it is a pretty block though.

Oh my gosh that is just adorable! I love it and am now wishing I had that magazine. I doubt my library has it. I'll have to check with some of the ladies in my guild and see if anyone has it. I can see that brightening up a kitchen :)

Super job and great inspiration!

Very cool!

I like it a lot.

great block!

Llike it. many posibilities. DEB
