Oh Susannah
Oh Susannah blocks are based on this outline pattern.

What if I use the outline pattern but lose some of the symmetry by coloring the block like this.
This is definitely not a traditional Oh Susannah block.
What if I place 4 of these Oh Susannah blocks with their red edges facing inwards and their corners touching.
I can fill the empty spaces with a simple pattern.

When I color the spaces using colors that match my block, I get this quilt motif.
I can then repeat the motif as part of a quilt.
There is lots of room here to do some interesting quilting.
