Great idea GingerK to make your own pattern because it is very simple. I really like the layout and how the blocks are going together.
Thank you aashley333 for showing us how you are setting the blocks.

Here's the pattern I created. 8" square base. I just press a crease for the two guide lines. Has been working well. The first line is diagonal, and the second line is at a 60 degree angle(I just measure over 4.5" and mark)

It is going to be a beautiful quilt whatever it is called!

Did you use random width strips or are they all the same size widths?

Definitely random. You should see my workroom! I made a system for using the "scraps", which are more like the size of fat quarters. I grab from one small tub to use and place it in another tub. When original tub gets low, I switch. However, somehow I have about 4 different tubs at the moment, And, I've even trimmed 3" or so from new fabric to use! I tried to avoid white and black.
I have a 6.5" clear Dritz ruler that has been extremely functional when trimming. It is 1/4" thick, so I lay it where the strip looks best, then use washable marker to draw cut/trim line to the outside edge, and the ruler allows for SA. This allows me to be picky about which part of the scrap shows up.

I also use the clear ruler on the first "triangle" to trim excess from second triangle's side, leaving only 1/4" extending into the area. I'll go take a close up pic of one finished block. I hope to make the final 3 blocks today!

I would call this the semi string block. Interesting technique.

I was able to get in touch with the designer of this block & she has opened the link back up for those who want to print the pattern. She did say that if anyone uses the pattern that they give credit to Happy Turtle Quilts & tag @happyturtlequilts. I asked her if I could use the pattern for a charity quilt/blocks & she said yes with a credit to Happy Turtle Quilts for the design.

Hope this helps some of you who are looking to print out the pattern:

For those of you who want to print out this block pattern, I was able to find the creator of the block & she has graciously changed the security settings on the link & now you can go there & print out the pattern. She did ask that if anyone uses the pattern in blocks or a quilt to please give credit to Happy Turtle Quilts for the design & if you share your work online please tag @happyturtlequilts. Here's the link to the pattern:

I received the pattern in my email after I requested it. It came a day or two later.
