    I didn't see a pattern, but Donna873 gave a simple way to create it here:

    I of course didn't see this post; wish I did since it is a so much faster method. So, I cut 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 squares and made separate half squares. I arranged all the squares, then sewed squares into blocks of 4 squares. I then sewed the blocks into rows and sewed the rows together.

    I love that you haven't tried to make it a charm quilt, too.
