To me i think you waste some fabric by cutting the squares down.

Gorgeous block, thank you for the link. Another to add to the *to do* list! LOL

This looks like a very cool pattern. Thanks for the link - I love free patterns!!

I was confused, too. Why cut them at 8 1/2, to immediately trim to 8 x 8.?

If this is Solomon's block with a couple of cuts, then yes; it does absolutely come to a finished 8 1/2" block.

I've made that quilt using the same pattern, it's correct, just follow the directions. As suggested, make a sample first so you understand the process. It's a really fun block to make, I made mine last year in Christmas fabrics.

Love to try new techniques. This looks fairly easy. Thanks for the link.
Hope your's works out right.

Wow! What a wonderful idea. Can't wait to try this one. Am going to use scraps and maybe put sashing in between the blocks as it is pretty 'busy'.

Great pattern. Going to put it on my to do list. Even if I just make pot holders or tablecover.
