I made the Memory Block for the last block conversion, so this time I just added another layer of chevrons on the outside. The block finishes at 24″ x 24″ in keeping with my giant block project, but if you make your own pattern you could do it any size, although larger even numbers divisible by 3 would be best (ie 18″ or 12″).
I’m calling this block the Fusion Block because it looks like all the layers are pulling in towards the center. I am positive that this block is an existing traditional pattern but darned if I can find it!! I looked through the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns and didn’t find it and I googled a few things, but without a name I’m really grasping at straws. If you know the name of this block please share!

Beautiful block! I love foundation piecing and these huge blocks are fun
I love this block! Can’t wait to try it. I’m new to paper-piecing, well, really I’m new to all types of quilting. My machine doesn’t like to sew straight (I need a new machine very badly) so I struggle with patchwork but seem to do okay with paper piecing. Thanks for sharing!
How would I make it any size I wanted? I’m going to make this as my first paper piecing project ever (eee!)….but I might want to make it smaller after I make one. How do you resize it??
Kristen, you would, for example, print the pattern at 50% scale for a 12″ block (half of 24″ so 50%), then re-draw the 1/4 seam allowance lines at the correct 1/4 measurement and ignore the original ones. Easy peasy!
Ahhh, smart!! And then, 75% would be 18″! Awesome. Thank you!! I’ll tag you in instagram when I finish it. I’m excited!!
