I'd like to share pics of the beautiful blocks I have received lately. The more of these I receive, the more excited I get about the final quilt! I have three ready to mail tomorrow.

I call that Robbing Peter to Pay Paul too, although other blocks are called that too. I think it is an old fashioned name for that block. Orange peel is another name for it.

Thanks. The other one is the one I used to seeing and now I understand. Going to hunt it up to help a friend with. She sewed earlier in her life and is quite precise but quilting is newer. She was intrigued by this and should do fine with it. I am busy here in Southern California infecting unsuspecting friends and aquintances with the quilting bug! she is in my Underground Railroad Class and helps teach others when I am busy.

Thank you giggle! I really like this block too. As a matter of fact, because this block turned out so well, I am going to use it to make a wall hanging for my daughter and her housemates to separate their mail at college. I thought I could make a wall hanging with a lantern pocket for each of them so no letter from home gets misplaced.
