Help identifying block, please?
Hi,
I am planning on trying to recreate a quilt made by my gr-grandmother for my grandmother, and would like any help identifying the name of the block/pattern used. As you can tell from the attached photo it was well used and is a bit tattered now. I'm still rather a novice at quilting and hoping it is a pattern to get some hints on more efficient construction.
Thanks.
Ann

I don't know the name but it looks to me like the block is set on point. Rotate it 45 degrees and the construction elements are clearer. You could sketch out the design and make the blocks any size you want.

i drew it out in EQ and by the time i came back here, Retiree suggested double x. i looked in block base and it is, indeed, double x. anyway, this is what i drew.

it's a square in a square in a square with HSTs at the corners, set on point. i drew it as a 12" block and the proportions came out well.
