What is the name of the block
 

Maybe it's just too early in the morning but for life of me, I can't find or remember the name of the block used in this pattern. Link to the image on Pinterest is found here, I don't think we can post pictures on the board from Pinterest.

Or if someone can post or link to how it's made, I don't want to make as small 3" finished which I guess is the size of the one in the picture.

Here it is in another configuration which is in the book "Small Treasures From Scraps", I'd like to not have to purchase another quilt book if possible.

The link doesn't work for the first one, but the second link looks like the kitchen woodbox. Here are the free instructions:

The kitchen woodbox does contain the questioned block. but the questioned block name is Birds in the Air
http://www.quilterscache.com/B/BirdsInTheAirBlock.html

Birds In the Air is similar but not the same. It has an additional HST in place of a square. Kitchen Woodbox is the one you're looking for.

Great sleuthing, Jane Quilter! :thumbup:

I don't think it is either of the blocks referenced. The first link (which did work for me) just shows numerous shaded 4p lined up. On the 2nd link each one is turned to form the octagon shape. Here is tutorial on how to make them. https://stitchingcircle.com/2012/12/...atch-tutorial/

Edited to add on the link I posted she just shows the triangle unit, if you alternate it with a solid block the same size you will get the block in the 2nd picture.

But there are many tutorials out there for this unit. I just like this method of construction which is the same method Sally Schneider uses and calls it Mary's Triangle units.

Not quite ..... the pattern requested does not have the small HST that's in BITA.
If it is switched to a solid square, then that is one block of the quilt in question with four of them put together.

The other is a 4-Patch block.

Then these two blocks are alternated across the quilt.

A nice pattern ... and would be great as a scrappy project.

I agree with QuiltE. There are two alternating blocks, one a simple 4 patch and the other four smaller shaded four patch blocks, which Sally Schneider calls Mary’s triangles. There is an online calculator to make whatever size you want.

Just an FYI in reference to the op’s comment about buying another quilt book: I’ve found my local library has been happy to buy quilt books I’ve requested. I then get to be the first person to check them out!

Wow!! ... lucky you that your library buys quilt books

I’m under the impression that most libraries would?

well, libraries have them at times. i gave several to mine in Colorado. But they have two sales a year too, getting rid of books for new ones.

Totally dependent on their budgets and priorities set as a result of the budgets ..... no, not all libraries would buy quilt books, let alone specifically requested books of other subject matters.

Ask your librarian. Inter library loan almost always works for me. My daughter is a reference librarian and encourages me to check before buying. She knows how much stuff I already have.

Hello to Everyone who has taken the time to help me figure out this pattern! The suggestions have been a great resource for me. In searching this post/tutorial came up comparing "Birds in the Air" to "Grandmother's Choice", which are also similar to the "The Kitchen Woodbox.

Just having names of blocks has given me so many ways 'to go' in constructing this block, again many thanks from a grateful member!

I thought that making all those blocks that match across each tip would be a nightmare; but then I thought it might work if you started with two of each colorway block. Then you would put them together so that the tips of the large triangle of the same color touched.

Sorry I cannot find my way around this board but I need to send a thank you message to Donna Rickman for trying to help me I cannot even find how to answer her message to me so whoever sees this will you please tell her I said thanks and thanks going to the one telling her sorry I am a computer dummy
