Crown of Thorns Quilt Block

Crown of Thorns quilt block
Who comes up with these names anyway? I guess the "thorns" are all the points of the half square triangles in the block. You will get lots of practice making these patches, but the construction is easy, as the only other shape used in this quilt block is the square.

This is a 10" quilt block, which is a favourite with quilters because it makes the math easier. It is also in the category of  5 patch block (so named because is is made on a 5 x 5 grid), and is sewn together as an uneven nine patch.
