15th Anniversary Quilt
I designed this quilt block as a gift to my students for the 15th anniversary of my shop many years ago.
It was included in my newsletter and I asked people to figure out the significance of the design.
Can you figure it out?
This block is a very traditional type of design. I had heard there is no such thing as an original symetrical block of this type. I researched all my quilt books and publications and did not find anything like this block so I can say with confidence it is an original block with a very traditional look.
I choose colors that were not common at the time I designed it, but the fabrics and block do make the quilt look quite traditional.
Enjoy working this puzzle.

It has 15 pieces.
Hey that is what I was going to say!
Turned upside down it looks like many small figures, one per block.
how cool - 15 pieces for 15 years! So what did you name the block, Kay?
I was going to say 15 pieces too!
I find it sad that people say that there are no original symetrical pieced block patterns. So many believe it is a fact and never look for different ways to draw lines within a square, which means there are thousands of new blocks waiting to be found, and vwery few people are looking for them..
