Hi..haven’t been one ages..wondering if anyone is familiar with a Garlic knot pattern? As near as I can fathom, it’s just small square blocks organized a certain way..or am I missing something?

Bonnie Hunter had a pattern some time ago in her Addicted to Scraps column. Check her website for details - quiltville.com

I love the garlic knot pattern. I think that the original was by Bonnie Hunter....at least that is the first one I've ever seen. Villa Rosa has a very simular one called "Puzzled" made with 5" squares and 2 1/2" squares.

At first sight, when I saw "garlic",
I thought that this one should be in the Recipe section!
Glad that curiosity got this cat!

@patricej Thanks for the link ... and inspiration!

Looks like this would be a good scrappy-user-upper-project ...
... and with lots of layout possibilities, to boot!
Win-Win!

I am pretty sure there was a pretty one done by sewbizgirl here on the pictures section.

Never heard of this block before now but wow, what a versatile block. I can see spending a lot of time colouring squares trying out various combinations.

I think this is the garlic knot.
I cut six 2.5 in blue squares
cut two 2.5 red
cut four 2.5 white
cut two 2.5 x 4.5 in white

Im sure you know this by now, but I’m just reading.

Or you could do two strip sets ... slice them apart two of each for each block ..... and then flip flop to assemble. This could work, if you are doing a scrappy mixture, too.
