20 minute block, 34" Big
 

This is a fun block to make, I made this one in less than 20 minutes and all you need is 9 to make a 105" sq.

so share!!!!!:o

Great block!!!!

Waiting patiently for instructions.

Thanks everyone, have made three more of these blocks this morning, inbetween wash & taking care of two Grandkids. This is not my pattern but came from Better homes & garden americn patchwork & quilting for August 2012.
I'm making one scrappy 30's and one scrappy Christmas.

I found it. Thank you. We would probably get into trouble if we reproduced this pattern. Just a hint, the center square is 12 inches.

Have been playing around with this a bit, wished I could post pics, you aught to see the smaller version of one crossed with the 10 minute block. Cathedral block. Looks neat. I have my outside corners matching the center square.
Sure appreciate you posting it, Buddy's Mom.

Yes, this is why I didn't post the pattern, it's not mine,it's a shoo-fly block.

Great pattern to use for a quick "need one now" quilt

The center is 11 5/8" sq??

Yes it really is and a very pretty one to. This is a great one for those fabric's you hate to cut.

great block wonderful job with it.

That is a nice looking block. And making larger blocks is a good way to use large scale fabrics. I will definitely keep this idea in my to-do file. Thank you for sharing.

Quite a unique square. I'd love to see the finished quilt.

Very nice block. Thanks for sharing.

please share! what size are the blocks and HST's? How much fabric to make 105" square?

I just saw this in the Aug magazine issue also. It's perfect for a quick quilt I want to make for a young mom who wants things modern and bright! She'll love it.

I thought if it is in a magazine you could reproduce it. what is the name of the quilt? Is it in the August or June issue?

Wow, that's a big block. I love the block with the wintery woods scene that material is so cute. I can see this block being wonderful for large flowery prints or a wonderful paisley. I cannot wait to see your next blocks.

Well, you're in luck beacause I love scrappies, 30s AND Christmas fabrics/quilts, so I'll take any of them... LOL! This is so cool! You could use some of those beautiful big prints in them... perfect!

I don't sharing those details would get you in trouble. I hope not cuz I'd love to know, too!

I have that magazine.. thought it was pretty neat.. Super quick quilt.. Another one for the To DO list..

Thank you, that''s one of my most favorite Christmas fabric's and all I had left so this Christmas quilt will be for me.

what a neat block!!!!

Have this one on my to-do list. In my new magazine.

I put three of these together to see just how big the'll be and I have a queen size bed and goes almost goes to the floor on each side, wow, quick & fast quilt for sure, maybe a few quick Christmas gifts for sure. I took pictures of four layed on the floor but my computer won't let me up-load them for some reason, I'll keep trying.

Just saw that same block in American Patchwork Aug magazine, page 30. Craftsy has it as one of their free blocks this month in a different size. This is another example of a common block with lots of names, etc...

The name of this block is Shoo Fly and there is a tutorial for it at About.com. All you need to do is increase the size of each piece, from the size listed, to 12 1/2" cut size. Since this is an antique quilt block I see no reason this info can't be shared. For a standard 12" finished block the squares are cut at 4 1/2" or for a 9" block they would be cut at 3 1/2". Just take the size of the desired finished block and divide it by three and add 1/2" seam allowance to each piece. Example 9" fin. block =9 div. by 3=3"+1/2" seams=3 1/2" squares. Hope this helps.

The center and solid blocks are 11 5/8" and the HST are a 12" sq. Goes together super fast.

I have been looking at this since I got my magazine, I was going to play around with a few sample blocks this weekend, but didn't get to, maybe I will have some sew time this week.

The name of this block is Shoo Fly its free
