Well, with a printer that really doesn't want to co-operate, and a website that doesn't want to include instructions, and the wonderful assistance of you helpful quilters, I have some success. Last night I ended up cutting and piecing a paper copy of the "block" on the site. It didn't quite fit together properly, was something like 11 1/4", and way more complicated than necessary. First, the #1 centre square is in two pieces, for no apparent rhyme or reason (to me). Second, #3 triangle is just #7 split in two, so that Jinny could bookmark match one of her border fabrics. Not necessary for me. So off I went hunting for a Crossed Canoes pattern, to compare. Voila!, a 6 inch block. Took me all of 10 minutes to alter it to the "Jinny" block, to be paper pieced in three sections, then joined to each other in two nice, straight seems. No hand piecing needed. LOL

Thanks to all of you with your suggestions and instructions.

(numbers don't correspond to piecing order...was after midnight and I was oh, so sleepy LOL)
