I found this in an old quilt calendar. It shows how to assemble it, but not how to arrange the blocks. There is no web site for the author of the calendar. Thanks in advance for any info or advice. :-)

could that be lover's knot maybe?

I have that same calendar, only I just got mine. One thing you might do is take it and make several copies of that page. Cut them out and experiment with a layout that looks good to you.

Barb and BJ, Thanks! :)

I knew someone here would know. I had searched several block sites and never could find it.

Thank you very much :!: :!: :!:

Anyway it looks fun........at first glance I thought it was some strange writing :D

What a great block! What calendar is this?
~Tiffany

That is a cool block. Maybe someone will pick it for our 2xBOM

Tiff~, The calendar is called Nancy J. Martin's perpetual calendar, 365 Quilt Blocks A Year.

Actually, I have 2 of them, bought about 5 years apart. Hubby got the first one for me. After that, I looked for a new vesion and couldn't find one. Then last year, I found the second one at Books a Million. I didn't realize until I got it home that it was an exact duplicate! Duh

So I gave one to my daughter-in-law and asked that ALL family birthdays, anniversarys, ect. be put in this.

What an excellent idea! I've always wanted to get this calendar and I do believe I have come up with an excuse as to why this needs to fit into my budget. ;)

They say it's not currently available, but with all this info, you can probably find it a Deep Discount.com or Amazon.com.

Let me know if you can't find one and I will try to help.
:)

OK, I found one for you:

http://search.deepdiscount.com/search?w=365%20Quilt%20Blocks%20A%20Year&

I have ordered from these folks many times and always been satisfied.

http://quilterscache.com/I/InterlacedBlocksBlock.html
Here is the one on quilters cache. Page 3 shows how it looks put together. I stumbled upon this one the other night and added it to my ever growing to do list.

Thanks! I had searched for this til I wanted to pull my hair out. I should have asked you folks3 years ago!

I made the quilt on my bed with this block, did mine in burgundy/black/white. The block is called "Interlaced Block" at least that was the name of it when I made it. :) It's on quilters cache in the 22 inch block category. :)

Shadow Dancer, I LOVE your quilt! It turned out perfect. I wish I had seen yours before I made mine. Will post a pic of mine tomorrow. Thanks so much. The links from all of you have been very helpful.

:-)

That is stunning SD!! I am going to have to show my hubby. I bet he'll want one for our bed. :D
~Tiffany

I think its a border corner block. Blocks that would go in between would be straight lines that would line up with this block...Don't know if this is clear. I hope I answered your question.... Maxine

Hey SD--that's a crisp quilt!! Such stunning colors. Now I can't picture it with anything else. :D

That's an interesting square.

Ok, last summer before I got all this great info, I made 16 of these blocks without knowing how they should be assembled. I ended up sashing mine. Also the colors are brighter than the pics show. Nummy posed for the second one. :)

I love it with the sashing!!
~Tiffany

Thank you for your curiosity, in2stitchin. I will certainly add this pattern to my "must do" list. And, Shadow, your rendition of this pattern is absolutely stunning.

too many ideas, too little time
~Joan

Amen to that!!!
~Tiffany

:-) The little picture of your dog and cat are just precious. Give them hugs for me. :P

:) :P Picture of little horse is so sweet. Hugs!

I feel a little stupid, as i thought my notes would be posted next to the pictures I saw. DUH. :oops:

What a Beautiful Quilt!!! How big is it? I just printed off the pattern and will start trying to figure out if I can do this by strip piecing parts of it as I want to make quilt out of this myself!

Cheers
Andrea

Joan ... my "To Do List" got sooo big I had to create a book. I need to be organized in all the things I do or else I am lost!

I found a great coiled hardcover lined book (from Blueline). I made various tabs in it for the different sections. Some of those sections are
- Quilt Projects (by year) I leave a 3-4 pages per year to fill in
- Christmas Gifts (by person) each person on my gift list gets a page (sometimes more, depending on the person) there I list all the gifts I have made over the years and what I will make them for the next season. That way I know not to make the same thing twice
- Business work - projects to make for my business
- Future Projects (again each section has a few pages. each section would be quilts, wallhangings, table toppers, bags, etc. etc. I will list from magazines/books/internet various projects I want to make and where to find them when I'm ready to make it)
- Class project ideas

I know there are more, but trying to remember them while here at work LOL I guess now that I"m on this site, I will have to add another tab for BOMs and other challenge projects!! LOL

Cheers
Andrea

What a good idea,Andrea. I think you are absolutely correct. It is time to get organized. I certainly have enough ideas for a book!!!! :lol:

Its certainly has saved me!

I have another larger Blueline coiled hardcover book for my classes. I made a quilt in the Fall with an Autumn theme and it had 26 different fabrics in it!!! I needed to figure out how to keep myself organized before my students! So, I started the book with the name of the quilt I will teach first for the Autumn 2007 season. I attach a swatch of all my fabrics on 2-3 pages. I added the photos below. I will then write in the notes for cutting instructions and other assembly notes I should know to pass along to my students. I also add an area to set up how much fabric requirements for each fabric of the quilt so I can set up my fabric requirements list for my students easier. This other book has been a God Send for me! I took a long strip of fabric and tied to the top coil to use as a book mark to put between my projects. I think I am going to add tabs to each quilt project for easier viewing and finding. I am also attaching a photo of the final quilt top I taught last Fall.

Cheers
Andrea

Shadow Dancer- I've told you this before, but it SOOO needs to be repeated... you have an incredible gift of colors and quilting. Yet another stunning quilt :):) Thanks for the picture and inspiration!

Shadow Dancer your quilt is gorgeous!!!

Hey
I was websurfing and found this layout. Paisley Lover's Knot. It looks like there are several blocks called True Lover's Knot. This layout looks good.

Aggi - I love your leaves quilt! The points are beautifully done and it looks cozy.

Okay, I needed something to make for hubby for Valentine's Day, my budget being a bit tight and all. The original block that started this thread really sparked something in me. I managed to get the top (all four units :roll: ) done in time for Valentine's Day and I plan to quilt it sometime this coming week. I would have posted a picture sooner but I was busy with the stomach flu and migraines all last week. It fits the table next to his recliner perfectly, a happy surprise. I have to say, I was surprised at how much he really likes it. I overheard him on the phone to a few people bragging that I made him something special for Valentine's. He seemed to really like the name of the block, True Lover's Knot. 8) Thank you to whoever posted this block originally. You really helped to make my Valentine's Day a bit more special!
~Tiffany

You're welcome, Tiff :-)

I love what you did with it! Isn't it great to have a Hubby that appreciates what we make? Mine is just that way also :)

Yeah, together they make love in quite the quilt ways enchanting. I love the Celtic, and wonder if any of you have thoughts to quilting ‘Leonardo’s knot’ as such, or any fashion similar? I’ve a lute with this knot and have been pondering its prospect for quite some time:

“And there they tied,
in a true lovers knot
the red rose and the briar.”- (from) Barbara Ellen.

What a neat quilt when all put together!!!

I went ahead and picked up fabric for the block today though I'm unsure now if I got enough for the larger block shown on the cache. I'm going to go ahead and put together a two tone version like Tiffany did, but in yellow and chocolate.

Tiffany, did you simply downsize the joining strips (between blocks) to equal the size for the rest of the pattern?

Got the first of four sewn (all material cut). Man is this one big honkin' block! I've really too much work already, but I just couldn't resist, I liked it so much. It should make a very handsome lap quilt when I'm finished. Thanks for posting.

Shadow dancer, that is a BEAUTIFUL quilt. Thanks for sharing it, and for the valuable info. :D
