Quack Up Insights: Quilt Block Name Quiz

quack me ups by sewcalgal copy

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
