I tried to send this yesterday but it did't appear in main section so don't know where it is but has anyone done this block? The instructions I have don't show the placement of the 4 fabrics only 2 so I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me with this?
I'm trying to do a table topper. Got all the pieces cut out but it just doesn't seem right. Got the pattern from the quiltblock library.

It looks like it only has 2 fabrics, not 4.

The instructions show 4 colors 14 patches twice and 8 patches twice. the instructions diagram shows only A&B true but not enough of them to make the amount they said to cut out. Cant find the original instructions on quiltblocklibrary.com which is where I got it originally.

Hopefully someone else can find what you're looking for, because no matter what/where I searched, I only found it with 2 colors.

Thanks for all your efforts I couldn't find it on the site where I got the original.

I searched in Yahoo and it had two colors, looked a lot like Jacob's Ladder.

I found a 4 color variation at http://www.nativeamericanstarquilts....gToChicago.jpg

It's not a free pattern although it looks fairly easy to figure out. They want $1.50 plus $1.00 handling charge.

What size do you want the block to be?

What size are the assembled blocks supposed to be according to your pattern? We can probably figure out the rest with that.

The diagram shows 2x2 I assume they mean inches and the next one is 2 3/8 x 2 3/8. Then the picture shows 14 squares of the first measurement and 8 patches each of the second one but no written instructions.
