Hey everyone, I am so glad I am not alone in my thinking. Don't know if I'd call it ADD but in the long run if sure helps keep me more organized. I just sent Gwyn instructions for the block. Here they are for the rest of you who may be interested.
The pattern is so simple. I guess that's why I got started and couldn't seem to stop. It's a basic 4 patch--not my idea but certainly something you need to purchase. The block is made up of squares and half-squares and is 6 1/2" unfinished. Here's the measurements: Background fabric (my white-on-white) - cut one (1) 3 7/8" sq and four (4) 2" squares. From the colors - cut one (1) 3 7/8" sq and four (4) 2" squares. You probably know how to make the h/s units by placing the 2 pieces right sides together, drawing the line, sewing 1/4" on either side and cutting on the line to get 2 h/s units. Then simply sew as shown in the picture. Top left is 4 patch with color on the left corner sewn to h/s unit with color on the right corner. Bottom portion is h/s unit color on the lower left and 4 patch with color on the upper left to make a diagonal ladder. If I hadn't been making this block with specific colors in the little 4 patch units for my luncheon I would make the whole block using scraps. Great way to use them up. I'm glad you like it. Not sure how it will look put together but will post when it's done. Give it a try and you'll see how easy and addicting it is and how nice it is not to have to follow a purchased pattern. Good luck.
