This quacked me up and I wanted to share with you....
About.com has a fun Quilt Block Quiz Test. There are 30 blocks in this quiz and you are given a score on how well you do naming each of these blocks.
I definitely need to work on my skills for naming quilt blocks, but it sure was fun.
And beautiful quilt blocks too.
Do you have a favorite quilt block?

My favorite quilt block has to be the Churn Dash! (Shoo-Fly or Hole In The Barn Door to some) but my Granny Ida always called it the Churn Dash for some reason.
Thanks for the link, it was a lot of fun and I'm in the same boat as you. I definitely need to learn my blocks.
I am with Vicki, I need to learn my blocks as well.....I wanted to tell you that I ordered the tulip die from Kelly, she had it on sale....I am so excited. (I guess I should have emailed you but this was easier).
This is something that I 'educated' myself with as well as something we teach with our beginners - block construction and the block name. I missed one.
I made that first block, Young Man's Fancy is one name for it, as a Christmas present pillow for the man who soon after became my husband. That's why is is one of my favorites. Kathie L in Allentown
I have a Geese-on-the-Pond quilt that I'm working on! :D Just love that top block. Can't wait to pull it out of the UFO list - its turn is coming up soon.
oh dear, i can't name any of the blox ..... but then, i can't name any of the dear jane blox i'm making, either. i'm just pleased i can make the blox. that is, if i work carefully enough!
I love looking up the history of quilt blocks.I love some of the names that have been assigned to them.
Oh, I would fail miserably!
I love Blackford's Crossing the best...it's an oldie but goodie!
