On a side note, I know this pattern as Faceted Jewels

I pulled up both patterns and compared them side by side and the only difference I could see was in the border treatment. Faceted Jewels comments about using the Tri-Recs ruler and triangle paper. Chain of events comments about using the Flying geese ruler. It is interesting when you consider all the discussions here on copyright and what is covered under copyright law. Both patterns are comprised of blocks in the public domain (54-40 or Fight and Goose Chase) so this is a prime example that it must be technique and assembly instructions presented in the pattern that is copyright enforceable, not the design itself. This would make sense because the two blocks are in the public domain and I could easily make this quilt without a pattern. Just a pondering. Didn't mean to take this off on a rabbit trail.
Thank you! Your "aside" is interesting and a case in point. I've also seen different variations of this quilt since making mine from the Far Flung pattern. I didn't use the flying geese ruler, but did buy the Lazy Angle Ruler by Lazy Girl Designs, saved me from using paper templates. Faceted Jewels also uses four patch units where the Chain of Events uses a 4" square. As you say, must be simply technique and assembly, although to read the Copyright Claims on some of these patterns, I think some over reach just a tad.
