I have a challenge that I would like some help with.

Post by QuiltGram8 » Sat Sep 10, 2016 8:40 am

As many of you know, I joined a quilting group at our church, making mission quilts. The church gets boxes of fabric from donations and we have to sort through them to weed out unusable stuff.

A few weeks ago, we found small snack bags with pre-cut squares. Enough for 11 blocks. They are small pieces, but I said I would take them and try to see what to make with them.

I followed the pieces as they were pinned and stitched the sections, pressed and laid them out. Try as I may, I can not figure what pattern this is suppose to be, or how to assemble this block.

Here is a picture I took. On the left is the pinned sections.

On the right are the pieces after I stitched and pressed.

Looks like three rows and block size about 5 inches. Even that seems odd to me. I have heard of six inch blocks, but not 5 inch.

Does any of this look familiar to any of you? Can you shed any light on this? If I can't figure it out, I am just going to have to through all of the 11 bags of squares in the trash. Oh well, it is fun to work on a puzzle for while, even if I can't figure this one out.

Thanks for taking a peek, anyway.

Is it a tree with the half square triangles at the top?

Wow, looks like a mystery for that dog and those meddling kids.

I agree that it might be something with a stem. just not sure what.

Can't wait to find out what you come up with.
