I found a pattern on here but didn't bookmark it but's it's called "a square within a square" and you can start with any size square. the larger you start with the larger the finished block is, I started with a 4" block and ended up with a 12" finished. good luck.

also love the 10 minute block.

Oh! I LOVE LOVE LOVE those fabrics! I am obsessed with anything Native American-and have a fabulous Native American doll collection, dream catchers, even an authentic quiver of arrows. Really looking forward to seeing what you make with those! I too, would be lothe to cut up a couple of those prints! Maybe you could make more than one or two quilts-using a couple of those great prints as center medalions to feature the prints, then surround with the tonals and use another print in a wide border.

I have tried to include 4 pictures - If not there, I'll try again. This is new to me..... Thanks to those of you that responded to my question and I appreciate any suggestions you have after seeing the pictures (if they are attached).

I love your fabric, and I think it would be fabulous as a nine patch pizzazz. Here's a couple I made.

Thanks for your input - glad to find someone else crazy about southwestern, Indian, etc. Your quilt idea sounds good too!
