True, "Free Your scraps" (http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.322259496.jpg and "Thinking Outside the Block" (http://www.toadusew.com/store/media/...t/otb-dock.jpg) are basically the same, but I think the block sizes may be different. The first is from an Australia designer and the second one is a US designer.

It is really a cool looking quilt! Please show us your finished product. Don't you just love it when kids and grandkids ask for something special. It makes me feel like they appreciate what I do!

I like a pattern to include pressing instructions that that the seams go together correctly and I've noticed about 50 to 75% of patterns do not include this information.

the way i accomplish nesting of seams is by ironing the seams to let's say row 1 one direction and ironing the seams to row 2 the other direction. the seams butt right up to one another and you can get "perfect" matching connections.

I think it's actually on this board from jan. 2011. I googled "quilting outside the block quilt pattern" and the first choice pointed me to a thread jan. 2011 and the lady called her's "quarter log cabin", but it's IT!
