Have you ever noticed that block names can change depending on who's talking about the block and/or the color arrangement in the block?
Sometimes this block is known as Sisters Choice, other times as Farmer's Daughter. I see some call it Rabbit's Foot and others, Butterfly at the Crossroads. There's a shape and arrangement I particularly like about this block which is most clearly shown as
Butterfly at the Crossroads. The block most makes me think of birds, though!
I made four corners and am playing around with center divider blocks. Traditional...,
narrow...,
or slightly wider.
Plaids, prints, plains, or a combination? Lights, mediums, darks? To make or not to make? I don't know yet. I'm just playing.
I hope you're having a great weekend!

Whatever it's called, it s a pretty block! I like #3 - all the different aspects in this one do it for me :)
ReplyDeleteI love the variations - what a surprise. The narrow divider strips are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteSome time ago, I purchased Barbara Bachman's Encyclopedia of quilting blocks, and have had fun looking them up and seeing the same thing that you noticed. You have a really great display of the different blocks and how small changes can shift a block's emphasis.
