yes, one ginormous block. See link in original post. See how the Hunter's block is done by itself and not multiples that create a 'pattern?' There are obviously only certain blocks that would lend themselves to being rendered singly like this; you couldn't do it effectively with say, a Log Cabin block. But because the Hunter's Star is a 'focal,' it works.
