Yes, I have and love that block. If you're thinking of making this, the only real advice I can offer is to definitely stay organized. It has a lot of pieces and can get turned around very easy. I cut the pieces out then laid them out next to my sewing area and worked it that way. I kept laying out the pieces to keep it organized. Not saying I still didn't turn things around once in a while LOL..
I made this for a wedding gift. Although, I'm not a big fan of batiks and these were not colors I would choose, I was happy with the results. I also used a QAYG method to put together so when it was done....it was done.

Where did you find the smaller size? I want to make this again in a smaller block but didn't have a clue (with all these pieces) on how to make it smaller.Originally Posted by helenquilt
I just finished it in blues with a white center. I did a 16" block. I only did one block. Our club has a challenge of old patterns and their history. Sorry I don't have a picture, my camera is packed.

ooooooo.....I really like this one!!! Now I definitely have to make another one in colors "I" like. I think scrappy does this block very well.Originally Posted by klgreene
Here is one a girl from the quilt guild did and won a prize for it. Now the quilt guild is going to make one next month for a charity quilt. Then I plan on doing one, but I'm going to wait to see which back ground color I like best. Both light and dark are beautiful.

Look carefully at the pieces. Made up of HST and squares. You can see the seams if you look closely.Originally Posted by vickig626

I made 1 block a few years ago, and that was enough for me, it is a beautiful block but I didn't have the patience for more than that 1, maybe I should try it again. I have grandkids now so I have learned patience.
