    Hmmm looks like you may need to go to the library and get one of the books mentioned.

    These are the three blocks (and colorings) used in this quilt. Just these (or a part of one).

    Print out on paper the picture of the quilt you posted, and based on the blocks in the drawing below, take a marker and outline the blocks so you can see how they are positioned in YOUR example.

    You'll begin to see the pattern.

    The first block is the same throughout the quilt, just rotated giving the impression of a different layout.

    The blocks themselves are very easy and quick to make. If you make the right decisions in terms of value for your fabrics, it will go together in no time.

    Hope this helps.

    MTS and Woody; thanks for that tutorial. It probably helped to see just how the blocks were broken down and their placements.

    Woody that's fantastic! How did you do that, put the red line around the blocks? I have to admit I often find it hard to distinguish the blocks too, though I am getting better at it.
