I have thought about making this quilt many times. But I don't like all the waste of sewing on the squares on opposite corners, then cutting off the two triangles. When I make it the "X" block, it will also be 4 fourpatches. Each fourpatch will be made up of 2 black squares and 2 hst's (half black and half another color) All the squares would be the same size as the squares in the 16 patch. Clear as mud??? Ann
