It took a long time to find the name(s) of this interesting quilt block. I remembered it was similar to the Brimfield Awakening block but I also knew this was a relatively new block for them as they redesigned the construction to be an EPP project.

I pulled out my trusty big quilt block books and began my hunt. For reference, the block below is a picture of one of the blocks in the quilt I have been working on:
The block below is the EPP created by the Brimfield Awakening Co. Similar but not exactly the same.
My next search was in this book by Barbara Brackman:
And finally, another wonderful resource by Jinny Beyer:
But…I also found by googling The Strawberry quilt block these 2 blurry pictures from the LAC (Ladies Art Company) pattern number 73:
And by the way (in my quilt) this is a very large block measuring 16 1/2” square.
Let’s revisit yesterdays post and talk about what the front and the back of the quilt looks like after my method of rejoining the two pieces.
Above you can see what my long straight machine stitch as well as the zig-zag that joined the two quilt pieces.
I removed the long machine basting stitch, trimmed the white support strip to 1 1/2”. I tucked under 1/4” each side and straight stitched each side. Do I care that the quilt back now has a 1” “new fabric” strip running down the length of the quilt? Absolutely not! It’s there to secure the repair not to look beautiful. 
What does this technique look like from the front?
Remember, I’m “saving” not restoring a vintage quilt. As I see it, there are almost zero rules to break! 
More to come soon, I’ve got one more block to repair and then it’s on to deciding what to do about all the Fractured and missing front white fabric.
Blessings to all and happy quilting, Rhonda
