Hi Pat, I moved so many times in my husband's career that my Mom always
sent me a new WJ plant. We Jews are wanderers and have been for thousands of years. I take no offense at the name. Just my 2 cents, Linda -- Sugar & Spice Quilts by Linda E http://community.webshots.com/user/frame242 |

Purly:
I *never said* you named the pattern. That name is a common one for a plant .... the name has been around for ages! I just said it is time for people to use the plant's real name ... Zebrina Pendula. Now, will someone please tell me whether or not this quilting pattern looks anything like the aforementioned plant? I would love to make a quilt with pretty plant patterns.

Thank you Sandy. Now I know this is not an applique block. I
guess I really should put the Brackman book on my Ten Most Wanted List! PAT in VA/USA SandySmth wrote: Pat, The pattern is a pieced pattern in the Brackman category "Stars Made Up of Many Diamonds." An alternate name for the block is The Winding Blades. It looks like a square with an X made with 2 rows of diamonds forming the lines from the center to the corners. Hard to describe! There are also other blocks called "Winding Blades." I looked for the pattern names on www.quilterscache.com, but didn't find either of them. |

actually it should be Zebrina pendula if that is a scientific name. The
genus name always goes in caps, the species in small letters. Eg. Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, Saccharomyces cerevisiae...
