For those of you who are looking for the original pattern, it was published in Quilt Magazine April/May issue 2012. Apparently there were a lot of errors in the cutting and constructing instructions and a list of corrections is also available on the internet. I googled 'Labyrinth Walk pattern' and it is available at certain online shops.

Because I wanted to make only a single block A and block B to begin with, I puzzled out the amount and size of strips needed from the magazine's instructions. Once I had made the test blocks and knew the measurements were correct, I did the whole process again, using graph paper, narrowing my strips from the original 3 inches to 2 1/2 inches and noting colour placement, strip length and wherever possible, which way to press seams. It seems a no-brainer but I lost count of the number of times I had to re-press a seam so that the two blocks would nest.

I'm really hoping that explaining my journey will encourage others to try this pattern.
your quilt is gorgeous. I have made this quilt in the original size from the Quilt magazine. I gave it to my grandson for graduation. I have been thinking of making it with smaller blocks for myself. Is the 3 to 2 1/2 inches the only part that you reduced in size? Thanks.
