Rocky Mountain Chain Block



This is a star block that can be varied depending on the number of colours used.  It is based upon a 5x5 grid and uses HST's and flying geese (although of course two HIS's  back to back make a flying goose)

 


Patchwork Square does a multicolour version here and includes sample layouts and gives the effect of an isolated star

Rocky Mountain Chain Quilt Block: 10", 15" 20" finished- Generations Quilt does a version in two colours with a colour extending to the outside of the block, this arrangement does allow the stars to chain together

Cotton Boll/ X Block
