Default 1 March 2012 BOM pattern and discussion

Hi everyone
I'm Linda and I have been given the fantastic honour by Sulabug of picking the March BOM. I only hope that what I have picked will be upto the standard so far.
As I live in Ireland and March is the month of our national holiday St Patricks Day, I decided to go with a shamrock. It is a pieced block which you can use your scraps for or if you wanted to you could use the same green fabric for all the pieces. I know that making it in green won't be for everybody so I'm looking forward to seeing it made up in different colours and fabrics.
The pattern is from http://www.quiltingworks.com/howto/shamrock-block.htm.
I've also made a tutorial on making the block which may make it easier. I've made one change from the original in that I used 2 1/2 inch background squares instead of 2 3/8 as it made it easier to cut them.
Here is the link for the tutorial https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...OCgn8ZzwE/edit

Hope you enjoy making the block.
Slan linn (goodbye everyone)
