Is there a name for the block? Other than 10 minute block?

I can't get down on my knees to work on the floor, but this looks pretty easy and I am using this on my next quilt.
Good luck. Your quilt is quite pretty.

Love your quilt, suggestion - I have not been able to get on my knees for years do to arthritis so I use basting spray and lay them out on my queen size bed, that way no getting down on my knees and it works very well. Just remember with basting spray a little goes a long way!

Go to your local hardware store and get a couple of painter's knee pads for your knees while working on the floor

So nice! Great color combination. Get one of those garden kneelers or off to our favoirte non-LQS store -- Harbor Freight -- for those carpet layer knee pads!

Nice quilt.
I use an 8 foot folding table, put risers under each leg. Mark the the center line down the table with masking table. Scotch tape about 4 round tooth picks down the center line [thus I can feel the center line through the sandwiched quilt], stretch out each layer clamp it down and just pin this center section of the quilt. Then move it over and finish one side at a time. This works very well and faster than the floor.
