It takes two, baby.

While sewing templates for block #30 together after midnight and without the 

book in front of me, I accidentally created a totally different block.  

I happen to love it and I will definitely include it in my quilt.

Below is the original block #30:

I figure that running a farm takes both the farmer and his wife.  

So, here is my block called #112 Farming Duo (until I hear otherwise).

 

If you have a block encyclopedia book or if you've seen this block before and know a name for it, I'm very interested.  If you look through your encyclopedia and don't see it, I'm even more interested.  

I'd love to learn how to design traditional-type blocks.  There are so many that I can't 

imagine how you you would come up with something completely new.  Although, 

left to my own devices, I could probably only do it by accident anyhow.

Have you ever designed a block of your own (by accident or on purpose)?
