A compound block is what results when you put elements of
two or more traditional quilt blocks together to form a completely new and
different block. A lot of the blocks Marti Michell designs are like this. She
recommends naming the new block after the blocks that were their inspiration.
This block looks like a compound to me; a variation of Lucky Clover inside
Father’s Choice with a little something else on the edges. If it has a name, it
wasn’t included with the block’s directions. None of the other quilters in my
class seemed to know what to call it, although one of them said it reminds her
of rich chocolate brownies with mint/fudge frosting. So I’ve tentatively named it after the quilt
it’s destined to grace – although I have a feeling every time I see it I’ll get
a sudden craving for brownies.
