I have to say though, when I Googled True Lover's Knot quilt block I couldn't find an exact match to this quilt block, so I have a feeling it may have another name? Let me know the quilters out there.
There are still another three months to go for the block of the month club. I should have nine made now.
I loved how this guy was sitting feeding the pigeons in front of city hall.

bicycle taxi? I've never seen one quite like that. They don't use them in the snow do they? I imagine it would get chilly. I would love to have one, they sure look like they could be FUN!
That quilt block is lovely! I am going to try to replicate it soon, I think. I am going to make my mum a quilt for Xmas. If you know of any places I can find the pattern, that would be great!
The pigeon feeder seems to be on speaking terms with them.

Hey Gill, thank you for your comment. Please, do re-post the story or the link to it, you will make me a happy girl:) Isn't it heartwarming to see so much devotion?
Your quilting blocks are lovely Gill! The bottom one is my favorite.
My Sweetheart and I love going to City Hall too, we usually sit down there to have a snack and we always have a good giggle over the birds that come up to us begging for food!
Those are lovely fabric choices in your quilt block. I think that block pattern is more commonly known as Bow Tie. Will you make a whole quilt from it eventually? Or a sampler quilt from the various blocks?
That's a pretty block pattern. It looks a bit like a bow tie from one angle.
Blessings, Star
I see someone done told you the quilt block is the Bowtie Block...they are lovely blocks.
I like the reflections picture...it is a great shot. Also like the one above!
I've been making several of traditional quilt blocks into chocolate and my research shows that when you use the dominant colors around the outside, creating a complete circle, it is then called a Lover's Knot. There's not alot of info on this, though. I believe I did see it in a quilting book somewhere. Your blocks are lovely bow ties! Happy sewing!
