As for the one in blogland Granny Squares....I believe it was a fun quilters take of the crochet block for those who do not crochet. The quilting world has a whole new and younger generation...it is interesting to see the change up of naming quilt blocks for sure. That is why I am asking about Swoon.

I too thought that I'd seen it before. Quilting has been around so long that there isn't much new that hasn't been done at some point (excepting the wonderful paper pieced blocks popping up). They may be set different, but when you come right down to it, there are only so many ways to join pieces of fabric. And so many blocks have different names. Most all blocks are in the public domain-it is the instructions that can be copyrighted-not the actual block itself. I think yours is lovely.heartsease54https://www.blogger.com/profile/16980415295935895910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251826517940652812.post-24066155884720576492012-03-05T22:51:29.658-08:002012-03-05T22:51:29.658-08:00You're so busy!

I find it annoying and unfair that many newer quilters believe that they have the right to say a traditional block is theirs and they deserve credit for its design.
