Hi, I saw a really neat swirl or twirl quilt block that I would like to try, but I can't find a template for it or what it's called. It looks like a peppermint swirl. Kind of like a swirled Dresden Plate. The spokes have a curve to the sides instead of straight. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Kind of like the peppermints in the photo here but with more spokes.

and this with less spokes.

I'll help you look, this looks interesting.
the first one has been deleted and the second one is really cute. Could you combine 2 spokes into one?
I'll keep looking but I've tried peppermint, swirl, red and white, christmas, etc. words in my searches.

Ok here's something really close to what I'm talking about. Scroll down about halfway.

I think what you're looking for is called something like spicy spiral, I believe it uses a 9 degree ruler, if you put spicy spiral in the search box, you should get some pictures and see if it's what you're looking for.

Ok, looking at that one I think I could draft a pattern for you. I'm from the old school, when I started quilting there were not the resources there are now!LOL!
How many spokes do you want and how big a block? I'll put pencil to graph paper and see what I come up with. No charge ( :lol: ) and you can use it or not use it.

The Patsy Thompson quilt looks like the "leaves" are just over-lapped more than you do with a Dresden Plate. Could you just play around doing that? Not exactly sure what you're wanting to do with it. I think hers is cute. Would be a nice little girly quilt.
