I'm glad everyone likes the first one. That's the one I like the best. I was hoping to make that one. That's my favorite one too.
But, can't guarantee how it would look in actuality. Those blocks would need to be stretched according to how large the center piece is and would look a little different.
My creativity block disappeared once I put the photo in the quilt program and started playing.
Just turning those blocks inward makes it look pretty nice too.
(Barbsbus, tell me if you want them pointing in or pointing out.)
And look at what you get if you put a couple 5" x 5" pieces together and throw a couple half inch borders on it.
A couple nice complimentary 12" throw pillows.
