That it is, but this pattern is just fabulous. And it's not going to be too hard to do.

That will make a really nice quilt! I love the way the white appears to be folded on the diamond point. Please share what you come up with!

And as I mentioned earlier, you'd only have to copy a quarter of the block, because all four quarters are identical.

You can take a copy of it to Staples and have the copy center enlarge it for you. They can make it a lot larger than you can on the copier. After they enlarge it to the size you want, then you can add the seam allowance.

Wow! You gals are on this! We should be running this country. Things would get done, and get done right. I'm always impressed with the knowledge on this site.
