What is this?
Well I know what it is, its a quilt block my mother made hundreds of. My question is What is the stitching pattern and is there a website where I can learn it? I remember her sitting for hours happily stitching these blocks.

Oh this brings back memories ... we did this in the 60s in all sorts of different designs. A nice spin off from traditional embroidery, using the gingham as your grid.
We did it mostly as aprons. I remember my sister doing it as a border on a child's dress.
A chicken scratch quilt would be so lovely.
