Cross Block

I found a photo of this quilt in a folder on my computer. Suddenly, I am enamored of it! I think it would be great with black for the center square, bright colors for the crosses and black on white for the in between patches.

This is what I think one block looks like.

Right now I am trying to draft it. I wish I knew the name. This is where image search would come in handy, because I would like to just pull it up in EQ5 and be done with it. The first draft that I did in EQ5 on my own isn’t working.

I need to know the name and whether or not it is a Kansas City Star block or a Laura Wheeler block or one of the other designers, so I can locate it. I may just look through my Kansas City Star patterns and see if I can find it.

It would also be nice to know where I took this picture. I have no clues except that it was taken in 1999. The quilt is draped over something, so I don’t think it was at a show.

Any clues from the audience?
