Searching for ?????????
Okay I'm going to give you all a challenge. I saw a square on
somebody's ebay store and I'm trying to find the name of it or a book it's in something????? I'll try to describe it but I'm not good at that. Think of a center square with an on point sq in the center....then 8 star points with white as a filler....now for the real hard part....it has in an octagon shape 8 sets of 3 flying geese circling the center. Okay so I have you all totally confused so I guess if you go to ebay and do a search for QuiltCreative Quilt Kits and Fabric you'll see her logo that has 3 blocks in it. It's the center block between the cat and another star. Sorry I'm still new and so many of the same patterns have different names that it can be a challenge naming stuff. Now you have a quest! Do you know the answer? I would love to know it if you do. Thanks Dorothy DeFuniak Springs, FL |

Dorothy, if you could post a link to the ebay store or give us an
auction number so that we could see the block we could most likely give you a name for it and maybe even directions on how to make it. Other than that, I'm totally lost trying to imagine what it looks like. Sorry. Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. On Apr 10, 9:48 pm, "Dorothy" wrote: Okay I'm going to give you all a challenge.

Okay, I finally found it- http://stores.ebay.com/QuiltCreative...its-and-Fabric
I have no idea what the block name might be. This isn't the easiest, nor the most difficult, block. First off, what is your quilting skill level? If you look across the top of the block, you will find it's a 9 patch- meaning it can be divided into 9 sections/squares- three across and three down. The upper left corner is three flying geese on an angle across the square in greens. The middle square is three flying geese in yellow above a print flying geese for the star points (altho it may have a narrower angle than the flying geese- I'm tired and I didn't study it too closely). The upper right hand square is three purple flying geese on the same type of angle as the upper left square. The center is a square of the print fabric with the corners stitched diagonally with the background fabric- similar to a flying geese technique. It wouldn't be difficult to draft- the fabric to get the colors the same as their colors would be more challenging..... so what is your skill level??? ;-) Are you able to draft the block and do you know flying geese techniques?

Look closely Leslie, whether you consider the whole thing as a nine patch, or the inner star as a nine patch with missing corners, the lengths of the sides are not all equal, but are close enough that it almost looks like they are. I only realised this when I realised the flying geese are all the same, but 4 are on a diagonal and 4 are not. Having looked through it, I definitely recommend drafting, I think with careful choice of size, you shouldn't have to make templates, but it would definitely help to figure it all out, I found it hard on the brain and I have a maths degree! |

The Star bit is in Quilterscache: http://www.quilterscache.com/E/Eight...tar4Block.html I put the original Ebay picture into Paintshop Pro and made it bigger, but it was very pixellated and so difficult to see, but I agree that its a 9 patch with missing corners. The 3 geese at the top, bottom and sides look straight forward, you'd just have to work out the size, but the diagonals - I would want to draw out how they are set - there seemed to be more background fabric at the pointy ends. I looked through her kits to see if I could get a bigger image from there, but couldn't see it, though I may have missed it. Most of the blocks are only 9" completed, but this one must be more - or very fiddly! -- Sally at the Seaside ~~~~~~~~~~ (uk) http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin |

The Star bit is in Quilterscache: http://www.quilterscache.com/E/Eight...tar4Block.html It's the same shape, but if you made it like that and then measured the sides to get the size of the flying geese block, it wouldn't fit across the diagonal of the corner square. I was thinking for setting, that you'd put a half square triangle between the geese, then cut it inline with the diagonal flying geese block then put on another half square triangle. Anne |

I think it's just an Ohio Star surrounded by Flying Geese. It should
be fairly simple to re-create. |
