Need help on figuring out a square
I've been trying to figure this square out all morning with no luck. I'm hoping that maybe some of you would know how.
Here is the link to the quilt: http://www.quiltmag.com/magazine/qui...nejuly13/echo/
It appears to be a rectangle. But when I try to put 5 strips in the middle with 2 white sections on each side, mine never comes out right. Usually one of the white sections is off.
Any guess as to the rectangle width/length and strip size? That would be a start. I'm mathematically very challenged or else I would have already figured it out. HELP!!!!!

I think the center square is seamed and made of four white triangles.
I think the strips are pieced with five 1.5 inch colored strips and one 3.5 inch white strips -
Then the pieced lengths are cut at 45 degree angles.

Looks like fun for people who like math and love puzzles.I fall into the "just buy the pattern" group on this one--and normally am not a pattern girl. Sometimes paying for someone else's time to have done the math for me is worth every penny.

Apologies!!! I should have said that I don't know if the magazine is still available. Email going to company to see. AND I searched and searched for the pattern via google with no luck.
I have EQ7 and thought I'd try my hand at drawing the block...but wasn't smart enough
