Very beautiful block. This is on my bucket list and it may move up to the top of my list! lol I have seen pics of this quilt made up on this board but I am unable to locate a pattern. Do you have any info on where I could purchase the labyrinth pattern? Any help would be appreciated.

labyrinth Walk
Block B. As promised, I used the second choice fabrics of greens and I really like it. Block B was a bit more work that the A block but one has to be careful and recheck everything twice.
I cut a bunch of the white strips and just had them to the side for when I needed them, I would just cut what I needed. It is important to be real precise. Use the same brand ruler to cut.
When adding the half Sq tri's, make sure to check the pattern so these are place like the pattern shows, it's easy to put them on the wrong end and so on.
When cutting the HST to add to the strips, Instead of cutting at 3 7/8 squares as listed, I cut them at 4. I folded them in half and pressed. I then folded and pressed the strip end to match. I then put the square on top of the strip, lining up the pressed creases. The square will hang over the strip. Now sew the middle seam and then I cut off the extra hanging over, measure the strip and cut off that extra piece. I do this to because when sewing on the bias, the fabric tends to pull in and distort just a bit, but by doing it this way, I find I get a better looking strip.
And
BTW, I cut all the strips on the straight of grain. That eliminates stretching of the strips when sewing.
The first pic shows everything labeled, which is very important. The second pic shows two areas of section and pic three shows them sewed together. Again, check the pattern to make sure. The most time I took was checking to make sure and I didn't rip at all this time lol. Pic 4 shows several section all marked, section 1,2 etc. The last pic shows the two blocks together.
I will make the next block out of the third choice and then I will pick which one I am going to finish.

I don't have a clue about this pattern but I like the purple (black?) with the blue the best. It looks like you could just step into the block and walk down the corridor. What an illusion of depth perception! Love it...
