It's in pdf format, so just save it to your computer and it will open in Acrobat Reader.
This quilt needs 36 blocks each of four different blocks, all the same size:
Plain background squares, Bkgd fabric with red HST’s, Bkgd fabric with blue HST’s, and Red with blue HST’s
Of course, you will substitute the color scheme that you're using. :) If you have trouble, just put up a couple of pictures of the HST blocks you've made and I'll make a color map for you. It's really hard to figure this stuff out sometimes and even after five years, I still get "lost" in a pattern. Good luck! :)

Thanks so much for that visual, I'm going to have to take you up on the offer to post my blocks. I still can't figure this thing out. I don't know if it's because I'm missing something, or b/c your picture has 12 squares instead of my 8 squares across. I have to go to work but here are the pictures, and I will check later tonight when I get home.
