Found both blocks, the Chisholm Trails block http://www.quilterscache.com/C/ChisholmTrailBlock.html and the Plaited Block http://www.quilterscache.com/P/PlaitedBlockBlock.html
What a great combination!!! Such an inspiration to us all.

Patrice this is absolutely gorgeous!! did you use a particular fabric collection or just pull from the stash? I can imagine that this pix does not do justice to the actual beauty of this quilt. I love 2 color quilts! Your input would be greatly appreciated.
TIA Vicky

thanks for the compliments. 
i was lucky with this one. i got everything i needed from my stash.
i'm not a skilled quilter at all, so i just did stitch-at-the-ditch for the whole thing.
the plaits block drove me a bit batty.
the piecing is easy. i tend to get mixed up, though, and put colors in the wrong places.
lots of reverse stitching until it's all where it's supposed to be. LOL
that isn't the block. it's me. happens a lot, no matter what i'm making. LOL
the plaits block makes a great alternating block.
it works with lots of different primary blocks - especially stars.
you will usually end up with several different "patterns" depending on where you focus in the layout.
it's like making three or four quilts at once.
both blocks are in the public domain, so i don't claim any copyrights.
if you think you'd like to try one, i've attached a blank worksheet.
grab some colored pencils and plan yours.
i'd love to see photos if anybody does one.
