Jan how kind of you to take the time to make sense of things. thanks!

I've never seen that block design before, but the table runner is so beautiful. I do agree with Jan in VA that you could most likely draft the block yourself. Have you checked Quilter's Cache?

Graph paper is one of my essential tools. Whenever I am looking at quilts on the screen or in person I am aware of block construction. Whenever I see one that is unusual and interesting I graph it out. As Jan said you can assign any value you want to each square and create the block in several sizes. Colored pencils help make the block understandable. I keep them in a sketch book. Should I decide to use the block I make a copy, cut it apart and add the seam allowances and use the resulting pieces as templates. Then I look over the pieces to see if I can have a system and rotary cut to save time and fabric. I have saved lots of money by not having to buy a pattern for every square I like.

Oh, squares and strips made into rectangles. you can make them any size you need.

Jan = You are so wonderful! I have said this before and will keep saying it. You are such an asset to all of us on the board. I just wish I could physically sit at your feet and watch you quilting.

Around here we call this one Warm Wishes. We have used it for a quilt for a wounded soldier. He simply loved it. Okie Quilter
