I'm not having any luck at all finding the pattern. I'm sorry

Thanks so much for looking. I have spent the past hour or so looking through all the patterns on Quilter's Cache. Having a great time, but no luck with it, either.

Lots of eye candy there!!

I just did some more research--didn't find the pattern, but found the most inspiring and beautiful story about Donna Sue Groves, the woman behind the barn quilts. If you have a moment, read this and you'll love the barn quilts even more. Sounds like you'll have help drafting the block. Here's link for the story:

Any one know a more common name for it, and especially where I can get a pattern/instructions?

Many thanks for your help ahead of time!
Is there a way to contact the person that posted it? Maybe she has instructions?

It looks like a "Buzz saw" pattern to me and I like the colors.

I've emailed her. No reply. It was from Jan 2007.

Could you not use the pattern on Quilter's Cache and make a circle for the middle and hand sew it on? Just a thought.

Corky 07-19-2011 03:45 PM
Well, I could, but I want the 12 blade block, and Quilter's Cache doesn't have it, just the 8 blade block. I like the 12 blades.

Thanks, though! I thought I might use a yoyo for center circle, too.

Not the Buzz saw, but that, too, is an interesting block.
