  • Block Description
    • Block Name: variation on Big T.
      • I did not find this block in the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns. I believe that this block would be listed under Category 9 – Equal nine-patch.
        
        From a piecing perspective, it is assembled more like a T-block than any of the stars that I reviewed. The star pattern really emerges only with the choice of color.
