A block in patchwork is the finished pattern piece. Traditionally there are nine patch blocks and these are sewn together to make the quilt top. There are names to the patch block patterns, some of the older ones being "log cabin" and "tangle foot". The tangle foot patch was traditionally sewn for a young man's bed to keep him from straying from his home.

The nine patch consists of a center square, then, contrasting squares at each corner and side of the center square. It is finished with a strip on each side with a tiny square at the corner of the stips. The six patch is a pattern made of only six patches. The center square, then one square added to each of the sides and the corners.

The pattern is repeated in each block and these blocks are so arranged to form a repeating pattern in the finished quilt.

Did any Chevy 350 blocks with the casting 3970010 have nickel in them?

Look at your oil filter housing and see if there is a 010 or 020 stamped there. This will tell you that the block was made with an extra 1 percent tin and 2 percent nickel content. That means it's very desirable for a performance block.
