I just went to that link. I came up with a different way of piecing it.

I like your way better. The corners are much easier. I'm changing my pattern in EQ.

Thanks!

Just goes to show that there is more than one way to achieve a look!

The proportions of the blocks seem different (original quilt design request and the block referred to in post #16)

However, that method does use two fewer pieces than the way I came up with. It does require four shapes - two of them reversed. The "piineapple" method mentioned by Peckish.

See new attached scan:

After looking at my drawings more carefully - the method shown in post 16 is the way to go.

After checking my math - the corner units will be too small the way I drafted them.

(6 times the diagonal is less than 9 times the vertical.)

Well - I would have made life easier for myself if I had looked at this before I started all my drawings!

Peckish - I have to bow to you on this one.

On the other hand - I learned something even if no one else did!
