I'm back! Ok to use this pattern that I posted in this thread:
follow the link for the Kansas Dugouts to the tutorial that you can use to learn to make that shortcut block my way.
Then also follow the other link to the tutorial for that shortcut block.
These links are posted in the first post where you see the pictures.
then come back here and look at the layout that shows you where and how to lay each "Block" as in Kansas Dugout Block or 4 Patch Block. You will see there are colors that need to go in certain places to get the look I designed. If you change the value of the colors you will get a differant look. so be careful to maintain good contrast and the right values of color in the right places.
Once you have learned to make the "Blocks" and looked at the layout to see how to lay out the "Blocks" and what colors you need - then you just sew them together into a quilt block. Easy!
I like to remind people to pay attention when you cut out the blocks that you cut accuratelyl and don't have a skewed corner or an undercut corner. Accuracy at this level will make life easier when you go to sew the blocks together later on. Also I don't pin my seams together I use a tack.
Here's a little tutorial to show how I use the tacks.
