I don't have the pattern but I know how to do it. It's just a Wonky Nine patch with black strips in between. I saw a woman on Sewing With Nancy do one the other day. 9 squares of different fabrics stacked, cut two slashes each way with no particular measurements. I started mine with 12" blocks, most start with smaller. Once they're cut you take the first stack and put the top piece on the bottom, second stack put the top two on the bottom, third the top three and sew on before you start sewing. That will give you one piece of each fabric per block. Then just sew your black strips on between the first and second, the second and third, the 4th and 5th, 5th and 6th then sew a strip down one side of your first three that you've sewn together and sew the second strip onto that. Do the same with the last strip. Don't try to have your corners match, they don't need to. You'll have to square up each block when finished. hope that helps
