Well for what it is worth, here is another way to do Corn and Beans that differs from Quilters Cache and gives the solid block look if the colors are carefully matched. Pattern is found as August 1, nancy martin's perpetual calendar "365 quilt blocks a year". I have two of these calendars so if you want this page, PM and i'll tear it out or scan it for you and mail it. I have made a quilt using these patterns, True and relatively easy though it took me two years because of the number of pieces in it. Not this pattern however, though it seems to have about the same number of pieces.
