Does anyone recognize this pattern? At first I thought it was log cabin but each large block is set on point and made from 1" or 1 1/2" blocks I love the way the colors are graduated and then the center pops to give the affect of a cross.
It doesn't look difficult but haven't been quilting long enough to figure out where to start. Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks and Happy New Year to all.
Sorry picture on its side and can't get it upright :icon_neutral:
Hi Janet. I noticed you had over 60 views and no responses. Maybe if we could get a close-up it might be a bit easier to figure out. I'd love to know because it sure is beautiful.
Looks like a chain of some sort.
I tried downloading your pic to get a better look, but it is too blurry when blown up to see the pattern for sure, but I agree with Mary that it is a chain of some sort. It is definitely worth taking a closer look, as it is beautiful! :)
I agree, I did some enlargement and it looks like all squares sewn together.. started with a red square in the center and then set on point. I bet a jelly roll against your layer cake that it is really an easy pattern if we could get a CLOSE up picture of it.Quote:

Trying to send from iPhone let's see if this works.
I'm shocked it worked sending from iPhone, was afraid picture size would be too large. You should be able to zoom in now without being blurred. Thanks for looking. Again any input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Hulamoon !!
it looks looks like a number of "Trip around the World" blocks but I think this one is done like a Bargello with strips sewn into tubes in multiple sections.
I think you may find it as "Many trips around the World". I just Googled it and came across similar images and each sections is a square with pieces sewn in a diagonal direction. I"m still looking!!!!
Denis, thanks so much. Found this tutorial, Quilting on Main Street: Tutorial For Many Trips Around the World Quilt Block, but she used fusible facing to stabilize each section before she sewed block, not sure that step is necessary. Now I have a starting place I'll continue looking also. Thanks again
It almost looks like it is in the Blooming Nine Patch family. It has that "bloom" of color. Don't know enough about this pattern to comment more...have bought the book, but haven't had a chance to really study it yet.
I can't give you any help, but I love the quilt! Especially love the shading effects!
It reminds me of a Boston Commons quilt....only this one has each block is made as a separate "quilt", then joined together and is set on point with gradiation of colors. Beautiful quilt pattern.

Funny you found a tutorial that uses fusible cuz I was going to suggest using it too if you were going to design your own and cut out a million little squares. You can get fusible that comes as a grid in various sizes(1",2", etc,) even on point. You lay out your squares and fuse them down with an iron, then fold on the printed line then sew 1/4".
Good Luck!
Thanks for the help everyone. Using fusible might be the way to go with sooooo many small pieces. Going to do more research and see if easier way to do this block. Thanks again.
I was thinking the same thing! I thought I had saved a blog with an example and pulled out hairs trying to find it from yesterday. Now I can go on with my day. lolQuote:
