I did not have a pattern - drew it up on EQ after a class - My dear friend Barb teaches this technique - it's easy! Cut backing and wadding a couple of inches larger than finished block - draw diagonals on wadding (laid on top of backing) - this gives you the centre of the block - sew precut strips around a centre square, flipping each strip as you go - does that make sense?? All the blocks were then joined together by machine on the front - and then by hand on the back - lots of hand sewing!! Will post a pic of a part sewn block if you like ...
