I made this pattern and really liked how it went together. The one I did started with a 10" block and grew fast into a queen size quilt. a mini version is in my future too. The pattern I used came from a magazine but MSQC has a tutorial and you just have to flip the placement of a few units.

I really like the fabrics you used and the opposite placement. Thanks for showing this nice experimental hot pad.
