Hi Dot!
Many quilt blocks have several different names, so if you get
something different than what I have...that's OK!  
  Subj: Name of block?
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Hi Everyone,
Well it's the pest again.  Leave it to me to find not one but 2 blocks that 
don't have a name next to them.  So I'm going to try my fabulous (ROTFL) art 
work and see if anyone knows the name to these two quilt blocks.
You aren't a pest!  We love you and how else do we learn?  I just 
learned the names of two quilt blocks I didn't recognize, because
you had the guts to ask!  And I didn't...!
Block 1.

 This is a grey and white pattern.  White is represented by the x's and grey 
are blank.
My Fons & Porter QUILTER'S COMPLETE GUIDE book calls this one "Prairie
Queen."  I like that name!

This one is identified in one of my older quilting mags as "Clay's
Choice."  It may have another name...but I couldn't find one.
Any help will be appreciated.  I hate it when I don't know the name of a 
block. :(
Me, too!  
Thanks.
You're welcome!  Ask away, that gives some people a chance to share
with you!  And we love sharing with one another, don't we?
