It was quick and easy!, and a great pattern for a begining quilter. If you look closely at my picture, you will see how to make the block. And you can see it is quite different from the pattern RedGarnet222 used for her dramatic black/red/white quilt.

Darcyshannon, There is more than one way to make the block. A specialty ruler will probably provide a way to sew the block with fewer seams. I felt like I got the same overall look/effect by using an ordinary straight ruler, and sewing HSTs.
