    A couple of years ago our LQS was having a class on making a quilt that was pieced, then CUT in an X, turned and resewn.

    The shop has gone out of business and I have never been able to find any type of pattern.

    Wish I could have done the class.

    The entire quilt was pieced and then cut or each block?

    The whole top was cut from corner to corner in an X, the turned and the X area was resewn.

    I'm interested in that too, sounds like something a woman with over active and over imaginative kids would have done to one of hers. Don't ask me how that came to mind..my kids grew up to be nice people. I let them live to grow up---to be nice people.

    It might be a pattern from 'quiltwoman.com' --Straight to the Point (tm) series

    Oh that is awesome. I love quilts with blocks set on point but it sounds like too much work doing the triangles on the sides. This is much better. thanks OP and thanks nativetexan!

    I just checked the site ewecansew posted.

    I do believe it was called the Contra Dance.

    Nativetexan, that is it.
