Yes, Gay. that was it. i finally figured all three pieces can't be used in one block. the long center piece could be used twice in center with two pie pieces on opposite corners. different fabrics too I guess.. Just haven't found a photo of a quilt with that.
I've been looking at the Clam pieces too. mainly a drunkards path with a skinnier Frame or corner piece. Missouri quilts has a tute on that with a large 10 inch template square with a pie piece. Anyway, i'm satisfied now. thanks so much.
