The link to the pdf. pattern is on this page.
It's beautiful-- just a scrappy Irish Chain, really. I think it's what they call a double Irish chain... I love it!
I have my 15 cotton sets all cut (as of today-- whew!) and only need to cut my batik twist sets. Lots of cutting, but worth it!

It's a Double Irish Chain, so you could probably find a pattern for it that uses 2 1/2 inch squares. Then, if you want to use the same quilting pattern that was in the magazine, you just copy it on a copy machine and enlarge it until it fits the square you're going to put it in.
Good luck! It's always been one of my favorite patterns.

Hi - New swapped here. Just wondering if "Flag Day" has anything to do with the colors our charms have to be? For example do the charms in this swap need to be patriotic and/or shades of red-white-blue?
