Thanks, Singerbabe! We had our guild meeting a few days ago and this is what is was. your next posting with the link is the same I believe. They told me to turn all center pieces 180 degrees-I'm not sure if that is what you were saying or not. ONe gal there had did it using 2 1/2" blocks and turned out real cute. I think on a 5", it should be at least a 1 1/2-2" cut. Sure 'seams' easy and fun!! I have to try it this weekend and make a potholder or something! Obviously there are lots of names for it.

You turn the four rectangles 180 degrees (the four corner and middle patches are squares and stay put), and then sew it all back together for the Tucker block. I'm not exactly sure I stated this correctly, so try it on four old charms that you don't care about first.
