I'll call this the Woven Nap quilt. It is meant to be the sidekick to a larger baby quilt. It is 33 inches square and backed with light purple fleece. It was such fun to make and quilt up.
I just knew this block had interesting design potential so I let EQ do the work. What a superb program Electric Quilt is, the absolute most fun you can have with a computer!
Okay, so here is the basic block:
12 " finished
I worked up some layout examples.
Woven Nap Quilt 2 - 33" x 33
4 blocks rotated - to mix it up
Woven Baby Quilt 1 - 45 x 45
9 blocks - straight set (not rotated)
Woven Baby Quilt 2 - 45 x 45
9 blocks - rotated
Woven Lap Quilt 2 - 62 x 74
20 blocks - rotated several times
and finally, I love this one!
Woven Lap 3 On Pointe
no rotation necessary! 52 x 65
The white centers can accommodate applique motifs or fancy quilting.
Maybe I show too many examples? I like to see how a design works up in the quilt sizes I make the most.
I really, really like this block! I also like how rotating the blocks make it look like you've gone to great trouble to mix it up and blend the colors. Often, the on-pointe layout is a winner.

That is a wonderful nap quilt and it's amazing how the pattern can change with colors and rotation etc. Thanks for sharing. I've already sent you an email asking for the pattern in EQ7. :)
