Thanks B, that's cool! I made my version based on the tute here on the board http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-102422-1.htm

Due to a shortage of fabric (following me making a cutting error :mrgreen: ) I adapted the pattern to make it rectangular instead of square and I did the blocks half the size given - it was a bit of a job to work it out because of including the seam allowances in the calculations and I did it while watching TV, hence the mistakes. Sadly, I didn't keep my scribblings to share the dimensions with you... This was one of the pieces I sold - it was bought by a neighbour who is a 'child of the sixties' and it now hangs in his living room so I can visit it anytime I like. I might make another one in black and white one day, though I loved how the pink and grey turned out. Any strong contrasting colours would work - purple and orange would be groovy! 8-)
