Thank you thank you! I spent a long time yesterday on line searching for it (to buy) but I had no idea what it was called. I kept searching under granny squares with chain, etc,

Thanks so much! I appreciate all your work and think what you've done is very helpful.

I finally figured out how to get the blocks into the sashing. The blocks are just two 9-patches. The dark 9-patch is 4 mediums and 4 darks put together with a light print in the center. The second 9-patch is four light-medium 4-patches in the corners, four white blocks on the sides and the 4-patch of all mediums in the center.
That doesn't sound hard at all. Right?

• 
• So in your first picture you have the 9-patch that includes the 4-patch corners outlined. Now reduce the other to a 9-patch, and you have it.

Of course, now you have to create the sashing so that the colored squares fall in the right places.
Good luck.

Dunster, I see it exactly the way you do. Nine-patch with sashing. Your EQ design shows it very well.

That is exactly what I saw and your images show it perfectly. A center 9-patch with the enhanced sashings. Thank you for the sample.

Seasaw2mch, you make this look so easy. Now what size would you use for the large 9 patch squares. Thanks.

That would depend on how large you want your quilt to be.
If it was for a small lap to a twin size, I think I would make them 6" or 8" squares
for a queen to king size, I would make them 10" or 12" squares
Again, like with all quilts, it a matter of preference. If it suites your taste then go for it!!!
