You can go to amazon.com and search for the ten minute quilt block or Suzanne McNeill. She also has a book 2 that just came out. I made the one like that quilt shop is offering, but I bought the book. It's a lot easier to get a variety of looks if you actually have the book. The online video is nice, but I needed the book. It's kinda tricky putting it together so you don't wind up with two fabrics alike right next to each other. Or, it was for me anyway. I seem to struggle with the easy stuff! LOL

Good luck with it and be sure to show us what you made.

Oh, I almost forgot. I saw those blocks done a few weeks ago by someone who joined them using the QAYG method and I just loved everyone she did. I thought it really added to the finished quilts.

I have a tutorial for this on our own QB. Look under tutorials posted by my name and it is step by step for this! Love this block, especially when you can do a cheater cathedral windows with it!

It looks like when you make two rows of the 10 minute block, before you sew the rows together - you add in the middle piece between the two rows as if it's another block being made. I haven't tried this but it would make for a different looking layout. You can check out Calico Station in Jacksonville, FL for the picture under classes.

I just made one with the extra blocks. I really like how it looks.

I did that with a lap-size quilt I recently peiced. Didn't have any instructions so I had to figure it out myself. Will try to get my son to post a picture for me.
