I'm with you, so waiting for spring. I really like the colors and the pattern looks very simple. Would you consider a tutorial?

No it's really not a stack and whack, althought I have never made one of those. i started with 20 FQs, cut a 12 1/2 inch square from each, then stacked 5 squares, right sides up and made 4 cuts, shuffled the pieces and sewed them back together starting with the last two pieces that were cut and working backward to piece number 1. I repeated this process untill all 20 of the squares were used up. i then squared everything up, and used the left over fabric to make the 2 1/2 inch sashing around the blocks. Any fabric left over at the end has been sewn togther to make sashing. As soon as i get it quilted and the binding on I'll post a picture again of it. Very simple, and very adaptable to any size square or quilt. I really like your idea of making this as a table cloth out of veggie fabrics. It would be very bright and colorful.

LOL, from your description, it actually is a stack and whack. You just did it in your own way. I LIKE your way!! I have some fabric I've been saving that will work perfectly in just this pattern!! I'm excited for when I will get to work on it. It's a few down the line but this will get me motivated to get moving on them!! Smiles and hugs!!

The questions I have are when I am looking at your reconstructed squares, if you made 4 cuts thru the 12.5" squares, how did you end up with only 5 or 6 pieces in each square? And if you didn't cut all the way across the square, why not, and how did you avoid cutting the other pieces? Did you move them away after the first cuts?
