Quilt in a Day Forums

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.

Velda I can't figure out the pattern.hBut can you come up with something else.I would hate to throw it out.Hope someone can help you. Becca

I'm not sure Velda but it kinda looks like El's maple leaf...

I'll keep trying to figure it out

Sonya.

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

Here is what I tried yesterday. I will try to research more today and see if I can find something.

Vel

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.

Velda its a maple leaf





look at image put it out like this
row 1 2 3 from left to right:
1(A in picture) solid white, (b in picture) half sq half sq going down
2 (lay beside row 1/A) your large solid piece and white tip
3 (lay beside row 2) your short solid with white tip and stem block:)

should make a maple leaf.

Izzy...that's exactly what I thought...though I said El's...there is this older version so I may have confused Velda with her thinking the newer one...I have a picture of mine almost done...I will try to post it...

Izzy I have made that block too.

...

Here it is...I am making a tablecloth out of it...those pieces make this block..they may make another..but that combination will make this also...

Sonya.(I didn't do the stem because I decided to add one by embroidery)
