Does anyone recognize this quilt pattern?
I made this quilt 20 years ago or so and would like to make it again. I had found the pattern in a quilt magazine, I should have kept it but didn’t. Does anyone by chance have the pattern, or know the name of it?

It looks like a variation of a Churn dash block. Quite simple to draw out, actually. If one assumes that the finished block is 8 inches square, one would start with a 4.5 inch center square, then sew together two sets of strips 1.5x4.5 and add them to the top and bottom of the center square. Take two more sets of strips the same size, and add a 2.5 inch square to each end before sewing to the sides of the block. Then sash with 2.5 inch sashing and cornerstones.
I think it would make a great guy quilt in the right colours.

Funny story since you mentioned a “guy” quilt! I met my boyfriend just about two years ago. Soon after that, he said he loved the quilt and wanted to buy it from me. I didn’t want to sell it, he kept asking, so I made him a deal…I would give it to him only with the understanding that I get it back if we break up. All I have to do while we’re having a disagreement is say “I’m leaving and taking the quilt with me!”, argument over lol. My thinking is to make another one and finally tell him he gets to keep this one.

If those squares are finished at 8in, you should get away with a half yard for the blue and green squares, and maybe the lavender. That's also a generous amount for the strips. The brown sashing would be more, I'd think 1.25yds.
Squares would be cut 4.5" & 2.5" - strips 1.5 x 4.5 and sashing 2.5". Also I would consider cutting the sashing into 2.5 x 8.5" pieces, to make the block 10x10", just a thought.

mzzzquilts - if you give me the measurements of your block and the size of your quilt I would be happy to put it into EQ(Electric Quilt) which will give you the yardage needed. You can either post it here or send me a PM
