The inspiration for this block came courtesy of a Holiday Inn. Yes, inspiration is everywhere!
I was teaching near Atlanta about a year ago. Throughout the Holiday Inn were these origami art pieces with little rockets. Of course, I thought quilt block. But then again, I always think quilt block.
Simple, graphic. Just what I like! And so many options for different color ways. I love the neutral palette with the pop of aqua/red, don't you?
I did a quick mock up of Rocket in EQ7. I thought this would be a sweet quilt for a toddler. What do you think? Should I write up a pattern?

Love your block, I make lots of quilts for children and am always looking for clever blocks to make and use in quilts. This fits the bill for some future astonaut, or physicist, or aeronautical engineer.
Great kids block, and a reminder that inspiration is everywhere if you look for it, thanks for sharing.

I love the rockets. Our children are growing up without a vision of space travel. We need to re-ignite that. crystalbluern at tds dot net
The rocket block is great - you should absolutely create a pattern with the flames added! There are never enough patterns suitable for little boys (or for girls who like rockets for that matter).

I know a little girl who'd love a rocket quilt as her daddy is an aeronautical engineer. She loves all things to do with rockets.
Interesting. One way I looked at it I thought it could be a bird house (by leaving off the bottom flame). Thanks for the chance to win.

Neat block, that rocket. The quilt looks like a perfect little boy's quilt. Pattern is a great idea.
Fun block. And Congrats on getting your block in the magazine!
My grandson is 5. No longer a toddler and he would love that quilt. Actually he loves all vehicles (he can name most of the cars he sees) so I think that block would look great in a sampler quilt. With those flames. Definitely with the flames!
Great block!

This was a wonderful read on the backstory to your inspiration for your block.
What an original block, even tho the inspiration came from Holiday Inn. It was nice that you actually followed through after seeing the blocks. I always say what a neat idea, I should make it out of fabric. Now many others will make your design...what fun! I really like the extra block that makes it into a rocket. Thanks so much for sharing.
What an interesting block! When I first saw it before I had scrolled down the thought that went through my mind was origami so you did a fantastic job of interpretation. I have an airline napkin that I have been hanging onto that has given me inspiration for a quilt. Now I just need to turn it into a quilt.
Cute block for a little boy's quilt --- and I have just the the grandson who would love it! I'm picturing it going off in many directions.
What a cute idea for a boy's quilt!
What an unusual block! It is striking.
Cute block!! I just became a Grandma to a wonderful grand son so your design will come in handy!! Thanks!

I have never done any curved pieces. But I'm about to make a quilt for a wedding present that has curved pieces. The wedding has passed I think I'm a little hesitant.
