She doesn't show you how to make the large one. I would take four of the finished blocks, cut a neutral square the size of one of those blocks, and continue to make the large block just as you made the small blocks.

This block pattern came out a very long time ago and was originally used to do the faux bowtie quilt so you wouldn't have to sew a 'Y" seam. The bowtie look was made by using 2 different colors. Three blocks were all of one fabric and 2 blocks were a contrasting fabric. When you sewed them together it would look like a bowtie.
Although they are easy enough to put together, I was never very enthusiastic about the center block. However, in the video above, I liked the way that she sewed the center block down straight or curved it like the cathedral window block.
I may just give

technique further consideration for a future quilt. It is very fast to do and the larger blocks would certainly use up a lot of fabric really fast and become a large quilt even faster than normal. I'm thinking it might be fun doing it in a sort of controlled scrappy-like quilt.

I was even more impressed that she took that simple bowtie block and upscaled it to a fabulous block. I will definitely have do this pattern in the future.

Thanks.. your input did help
to get the shot from the video I have a program on my work computer that captures screen shots and then you can save as a jpeg file... sorry I forget what the program is called. I am at home now and I don't have that program (it is pretty handy)
