London Block

This year the theme for the block-of-the-month class at Quilt Etc. is Dream Vacations. Once a month we get together, learn to make two new quilt blocks, and discuss amazing places we’ve visited (or hope to someday) like Hawaii, New Zealand, Italy and Japan. Many of these travel destinations already have blocks named for them, but instead of using these they chose other traditional quilt blocks and simply renamed them for the class. I’ve posted the blocks (18 so far) here as I’ve made them. I’ve been able to find and attach the original block names for each one, until now. As I’ve been unable to discover its real name, this one will just have to be called London. As it was being assembled, I kept thinking of other blocks I wished I was making – London Roads, London Stairs, or London Square – every one of which would have been easier to accomplish than this one!
