Our block for September is called Swing in the Center.
if you google the block name you will find several versions and methods for making this block.
the instructions at Block Central make a 12" [finished] version and are fairly easy to follow.
PLEASE NOTE, however, that i think there is an error in the instructions.
there are several places that instruct us to place and sew things "wrong sides together."
my friends and i could not make sense of that process, but did get the desired results when we substituted the process of "right sides together."

A different approach to the 12" pieced version, at the World Wide Quilting Page:

Marcia Hohn, over at Quilter's Cache offers a 6" [finished] version for which she recommends paper piecing.

i hope you enjoy experimenting with this block as much as i did.
