Here is my new favorite quilt pattern. It is called "Easy Carpenter Wheel" from
www.quilterscache.com/c/carpenterswheelblock It is a 24" block with 1/2" inner border and 2" outer border. so finshed size is 29". It was easy and fun to make. I like it so much I am going to make more in other colors. ( may even try to sell them on Etsy). Pattern is FREE from this site. this site has lots of other neat patterns for blocks and has then listed by block size. Actually the pattern said to strip peice the 1/2 sq triangles but I cut the squares and marked them the old fashion way. This patterns uses 1/2 SQ triangles ans squares to make block. Try it you'll like it!!!!!!! So many blocks, So little room in my house!!!!!.
