When I posted my graphic of a way to cut this block, I meant no detraction from Helene's pattern. I agree that 'the laborer is worthy of her hire', in this case - the purchase of her pattern. To make the full quilt the way Helene designed it, if that's what the original poster wants to do, yes, she should buy the pattern. My post was only meant to show that this is an easy block....try setting it in a myriad of ways as I have done over the years.
I apologize for stepping on any toes, especially those of Helene's wonderfully loyal and supportive friends and fans.

Another way to make a simular looking block is to take a square, put sashing around it, make a second unit with the opposite colors. Then cut diagonally across both and restitch switching pieces.
But to make such a stunning quilt and get the measurements right for all the sizes of blocks, buy the pattern.
Just because you know how to construct a block doesn't mean you can put together a whole quilt.
