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.
