Wouldn't that be lovely for Spring?

It shouldn't be too hard to plan that pattern out ... it's all straight lines, with mitres for the windows. Take out some graph paper and start working it out.

I think the harder part will be finding just the "right" fabric!

I can see why you like it! It's beautiful. Maybe you could draw it out on graph paper?

Just pause the video every so often and draw it out on graph paper. then enlarge the pieces to the size you'll need, remember to add a quarter inch around each pattern piece for seam allowances.

Graph paper is wonderful, you put the scale on each block. Most times you just use each little block as 1 inch. But remember to add those seam allowances

IF you check out some attic windows (like in my avatar), I didn't do the "y" seam. The corner is HST which made it so much easier IMHO
