Oh! You mean my avatar picture?
I have that book, and the name is most certainly the block I have displayed, but I know the block as carpenter's wheel. The quickest way I have found to make that block is to make a bunch of gridded half square triangles ... but, I was just thinking of a book that I have (can't remember the name right now?) but the outer "ring" of pieces become a frame of sorts for what the author has put into the centers. It was a Sally Johnson book, and she makes teeny tiny little blocks ... but, I apologize ... I just can't remember the name of the book :?
I am heading to bed right now, but I will come back tomorrow and look for that flag for you and post the link. I am pretty sure that I have copied it at least once as a free pattern off the web. See you tomorrow <wave>

I stumbled across a picture the other day that was showing a quilt of Ole Glory. It is the American Flag and it looks like it is blowing in the wind. Does anyone know what company has this pattern, or where I could get ahold of a copy of the pattern? Thanks!
