Hi, I have several vintage quilt books with patterns they are drawn on a grid and can be sized up or down depending on the sizes you want to end up with so there is a bit of math that enters into it at some point. Once I see your post perhaps I can help. Won,t be back home till next Tues, Loving the grandkids this week. Good Luck, this board is so helpful I'm sure you will find what you need.

yes! this is the block. does it have another name? I just want simple. I need to figure szs,ect, so I can do yardages & rotary cut. 12" finished/12.5 not finished. I thought the BEST way to sew would be upper left corner to lower right,then sew the 2 remaining"triangle" parts, then sew the 3 sections together.---what do you think?

can't speak to the sizes, but I think your plan for the stitching is correct...do the three sections then put them all together.

I think "you've got it"!

It also looks like it would paper piece fairly easily, if you prefer that method.

The drawing is 1/3 scale - it appears to be drawn on an 8x8 grid.

Hope you cut and sew with straighter lines than I can draw!

One can also fold paper to help create block patterns.
