Thanks for your help..... I'm helping another friend who's going to be a first time grandmother. She has already bought a jelly roll and a charm pack of Pure and she's fallen in love with this pattern.
Until next time,

Can you help me name this block?
Does anyone know the name of this block? Or how it's constructed. I should know this, but I think my brain is tired LOL!! I looked on EQ7 and didn't find it exactly.

I don't know the name ... but I love it!!!! It looks like a HST surrounded by "logs" and sewn into the diagonal rows. At least, if I were going to make one from the picture, that's how I'd sew it. ;-) Not much help, I know. If you find out the answer, I hope you share it because I LOVE that pattern and have dreams of making a quilt using it myself!
I don't know the name either, but take a charm square and surround it with jelly roll strips. (2 rounds) Then cut the square on the diagonal and re-sew.
I've been trying to figure out a name for your quilt. First I was thinking of tile type names then I found something on google when searching that I thought I would run by you. Jewel Box. That's my idea. Beautiful fabrics, love your quilt.
Hi Karen! I immediately checked my go-to book for quilt block names: "Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns" by Barbara Brackman. Unfortunately, this block isn't among those shown. The closest I could find is called... Log Cabin (duh). Sorry I can't be more help. It's a nice-looking block, in any case.
I don't know what it's called, but I have something very similar that I drew up in EQ for a future project. I know that's no help at all, but it does look great in those fabrics.
If I was to make this block I would make it 1/2 units and sew it together.
so say the block on the bottom cut a browns square in 1/2 for the center
then sew a blue strip to each of the sides
then a light strip to each of the sides
repeat for the other side then sew the 2 units together
do you want me to draw it out for you?
If you do it in 2 units just think it will be easier then having to miter each of the corners it will be done for you! just email me if you need instruction
