Gorgeous block and congrats on your first Jane block! Only 225 to go if you're making the triangles too :D

The block is 5 inches square. After sewing into the quilt, the blocks will measure 4 1/2 inches square.

There is a CD available to print out the pieces, and two rulers are also available, a square and triangle.

I love your block - do you intend to use the same batik for all the background? Just wanted to let you know that I used almost 15 yards in mine, but that included plain tris between the pieced ones, all the scallops and sashings. I would hate you to get half way and not be able to buy more of that beautiful blue.
