Where I am confused is with the light white off white squares and cutting it. I looks like one square in this unit is a dark square.
Can anyone help me with better directions?
I can't imagine why this is called a split 9 patch. It's simply square after square with some squares being made of two triangles.
The main block is a very simple 4 x 4 patch with the adjoining blocks containing the HST to make the points. And 4 patch cornerstones.
Maybe I'm missing something
