It looks as though it's a New York Beauty block, but I've redesigned it. My version of the block is called Echidna, and has no curved seams!
I really like the way the block orientation makes them look out of shape.
It even makes the perfectly straight edges of the quilt look wavy!
I made my quilt with a tone-on-tone white background, and spikes from a selection of Paula Nadelstern prints, which are colourful patterns on black backgrounds. In hindsight, I should have omitted a few of the acid citrus colours.

Beautiful Emma
The illusion of wonky blocks is wonderful, especially since it did not involve any special trimming. Great job.
nice illusion :)
and like usual beautiful quilting
Well done :)
I love this design! Is there any way to get hold of the pattern for this quilt? I can't find the magazine you mention here in the UK and as it was in a past issue, I'm not sure if it would still be available.
Thank you!
