Wow QuiltE thank-you, thank-you, so much. Your mathematical equations do make sense to me. Divisible by three..., well I'm off to make a sample using the last example.
I guess I'm in a February mood to use red's and cream colors. I love the optical illusion of a curved block and realize there are probably oodles of layouts too. I wonder if this is a vintage block pattern? Thank-you Quilterdale for posting this thread, I just finished a "Checkered Dresden Plate" and was wanting to start another quilt then viola this pattern is fantastic! |
GramE yes, I agree w/ you about it being the same.

Thank you OnaEmtNest!!!!
Your reds and creams will make a nice quilt and what a great way to use up an assortment of fabrics. You had asked about the snowballs .... Sorry, I forgot to answer that. They will be the same square of whatever width you go with for your strips. I'll look forward to seeing your Valentine's version of Mirror Mirror! :) However, what I would really like to see right now would be your Checkered Dresden Plate. Could you please give me a link? Thanks! |
QuiltE, I mean, sorry I am on severel threads GramE posts on all the time.

I have been really taken by this block .... not that I need another project (or six!) :) |

Thanks for the snowball corner clarification. The Checkered Dresden Plate is a Jenny Doan Tutorial. I'd never made Dresden plates, always wanted to. It was super easy, mine I used an array of Fall fabrics. I will let you know when I get it back from my Longarm Guy. Here's the link to MSQ tutorial... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbESQ4vMOiI |

This is what makes the QB so great. All these helping hands. I really like this block. Will be fun to see what the name is but for now...another on my bucket list! Thanks everyone!

OneEmtNest ... Thanks for the link. Now that I have had a sneak preview. you have me even more anxious to see yours. Especially being that I happen to like fall colours the best! :) Again, sorry I missed the snowballs first time round and glad it helped. Now you have me waiting to see your first block. Of course, you have nothing to do right now, as you wait for your Longarm Guy!! :)

Great Sherlock Holmes'ing!!!! :) I don't think there are any extra rows, as QuiltnNan suggests. Only that the alternate blocks are done in reverse colour/fabric placement. Whereas Quilterdale's photo has every block (group of four smaller blocks) the same and when they come together, that incredible secondary pattern shows up. Does anyone agree with me? |

Paper Princess has the right idea, but too many seams for my liking. To elongate the middle also, I'd do it this way, and as others have said, the alternate block has to be the mirror image:

Great design!! Yep - think this one is going on the list :)

Isn't a mirror image just upside down?

You are so right! I'm glad someone is paying attention. This does make it easier as now I won't have to think as hard!
Eg. If you make two identical blocks, then turn one upside down, and butt them together, you will not get that mirror/reflection image. Whereas for a mirror image ..... if you have the blocks side by side, what is on the left of the one, will be on the right of the other, etc. When you turn one upside down and butt up to the other ..... then yes, you get that reflection as you would get with a mirror (or in a lake!) A little awkward to explain ..... I hope this makes sense to you! |
