    I like the look of this square....haven't seen it discussed yet or maybe I missed it. Anyone used it in a quilt yet?

    I think it Looks like what I would call a "folded box" I made a bunch for a block exchange a couple of years ago. I put a really pretty rose in the middle. Never got around to actually putting that group of blocks together, it is on my UFO List.

    Ok, I was mistaken, my square is a little different from yours.

    I didn't pick the block with the prettiest rose to take a picture of either, sorry. The colors aren't quite right, the blue looking color is an dusty violet.

    It's not really my square....I just happened to run across it while looking for something else and liked it.
    That's a really nice folded box square....I love the colors you used with the rose in the center.

    I used two in a block of the month.

    2nd row, all the way to the right, and 3rd row, two over. I liked making that block, went together nice.

    Looks a lot like the old churn cash pattern.

    Seems more impressive as "Grecian Square"
