This is called the Chinese Coin block from the Sylvia's Bridal Sampler book. It is so similar to both the Churn Dash and the Shoo Fly block (also in the book) that I thought I had already MADE this one when I had it partway completed. But...it's a tiny bit different. I am finishing up the Lancaster Rose appliqued block and should be able to show that to you soon.As a way of updates, some of you have asked about baby Maddy and she is doing better. I believe today is the day they will take her out of the "cool" state and start to do neurological testing on her, so she could use a lot of prayers for this....and so could her family! This has been a very rocky start for her and her family has been very worried, as you can imagine. I have seen photos of her and she is a very pretty baby and had a very nice birth weight, too. As for my granddaughter, she has been fever-free now long enough to go back to school today. Her mother, though, is now down with one flu or the other. She was put on Tamiflu to ease the symptoms and if she is fever free for long enough, she will go back to work tomorrow. Both will probably have that horrible, dry lingering cough for a few weeks, but at least the body aches and fevers will be gone!

Love this block Pat. I don't know why the Chinese Coin apeals more to me than the other two like this but it does.
Crispy
I agree that it is very similar to the Churn Dash block. I had to look a bit to see the difference. Churn Dash can be made as a 9 patch, this is four squares with center strips added. But very nearly the same design.
I love the fabrics and colors in this block, very pretty!
I love pieced blocks but I struggle with them the way you struggle with applique'. I'm so glad to hear your daughter and grand-daughter are on the mend. I will continue to pray for baby Maddy.
Always a joy to pop over and say hi and see what you have in the works....simply a pretty block!
I thought it was a churn dash block. I like the material your chose. Very pretty.
Glad to hear your granddaughter is feeling better. Hope your daughter can go back to work tomorrow.
Wow, this block almost look like Churn Dash block. Hope your daughter will get better soon!
Nice block. It does look like the Churn Dash.
Glad the flu fevers are gone and life is resuming.
Prayers continue for Maddy.
Very pretty block. Love these!
Happy to hear your Jessie is on the mend..sorry your daughter is down now.
Prayers for Maddy.
hugs,
