HI everyone, I wonder if anyone might remember seeing the neat tutorial (somewhere??) on how to make a neat block with 5 squares. You fold one in half and sew it between two of the squares and then stretch the folded one out and sew the other two onto it. When you open up the block, the 5th one is in the center. I watched the tut and thought I would remember how to do it but several days have passed and I was wrong. :-( Hope I explained this well enough. The little center block is not sewn down but could be making curved edges. Thanks ahead of time for anyone who has a memory!!! :-)

Oh thanks so much- I knew someone would remember. You are a sweetie. Now I will go try it since I already cut out the blocks and then hit a mind block! :-)

the block you are looking for is a dimensional bow tie block.
