Oksewglad, I thought the very same thing after I started to put it together. It would be much easier as a two-block project using planned fabric like mine. I think BHs original idea was to use up scraps on each "Diamond Tile" block so the Cross Block would end up with several different fabrics and have a very scrappy look. If I make another one I will do it in an all scrappy style. I have so, so many to use.<3
EDIT: I really like how you made the pattern, thanks for sharing it. I hope other people will give it a try.
peace
