They are wonderful. Hope they bring $$$$ at the auction.

What a great idea. I love it when people find a use for orphan blocks.

Thanks I will try to look that up! I love the block but need the right specs on it so I can make it properly--these were so off and and didn't match up--hard to quilt once i got them in runner as well...


Thanks to everyone!

I love them. Very nice

amma has EQ5 she might be able to give you the correct name and instructions

we are still trying to find exact pattern

Those are all very pretty. Hope they raise lots of money.

They look great. Hope they bring in lots of money!

Good job!
Your pattern almost looks like nosegay, doesn't it? or Tulip something ... or ... someone was trying to sell you a new ruler? (I am such a cynic! LOL)
The question about the title of the block is an interesting one, though, because how DOES one go about finding the name of a quilt block?
I mean! I have books with THOUSAND blocks and not all the blocks are in there, and look at Quilter's Cache ... has anyone ever known how many blocks Marcia Hohn has provided from both traditional, historical and her OWN design?
Maybe a hint as in: It is x-amount of squares by x-amount of squares ... or looking under quarter square patterns?
I am not a very good researcher <g> ... but, sometimes, I can point people in the direction they can go!

Well it was a block Thelma from the quilt shop had made years ago but nothing matches up--someone said earlier in the post that it is a braced star....and that is very close..although a bit different...anyway..I just thought of someone recognized it I could get the pattern in some way because I love it if it works...otherwise I will just use the braced star pattern.

thanks for helping though.....

Have you checked in Eleanor Burns' book "Stars Across America"?
and, I am thinking ... maybe in that GRandma's Big Book of Blocks I might find it ... I will go look before I go to bed, and if I find something in my stuff, I will bring it in to the shop tomorrow ... then, we will share it with the board ... then LOTS of people will know what you know! LOL

YEs--I have Stars Across America..I love that book--I just made a block swap star out of that one...no it was from a book years ago that she had..and she got rid of it somehow.....Cindy have been trying to figure out the block and maybe making a paper peicing pattern from it....but we are struggling....I have a peice of one of thelma's patches..I can bring in tomorrow.
