Yes, I did use a pattern. It is called "American Cowboy" from "Quilt Magazine". I am sorry, but I don't have a date on the magazine -- just a torn out page. It is definitely not a current issue. If you can't find it and want to know the dimensions of the cut pieces, just PM me. The focus fabric squares as well as the resulting pieced squares are 6.5" square unfinished (6" finished). The pattern does not give total yardage needed. The quilt makes up to be roughly 65" x 75", depending on border width. I am making a second one for Project Linus that will be 2 rows narrower and 2 rows shorter.
Thanks for your interest!
