A 8X8 Grid

Red: 14 Squares White/Blue 12
Blue: 2 Squares Red/Blue 12
White/Red 4
Total of 64 pieces to
match the picture layout. Hope this helps.

great job, thanks, it would have taken me awhile to look that up in my scratchy drawings!! your version applies to the one chosen. it is a little diff for other color choices. simple

For the block with the outside corner accents. You would need: Corners (4) squares. Corner accents: 1/2 sq Triangles (8)of
the border with accents. Border background: (8) squares
For the Diagonal frame: (8) 1/2sq triangles. Borderbackground/with frame print. (8) 1/2 sq tri diagonal frame print/square frame print. (4) 1/2 sq tri diagonal frame print/star background. (12) squares of square frame print. Center star: (8) 1/2 sq triangles with background/star print.
And 4 squares for the center of the star. Total: 64 pieces
I did not notice the corner accents when I looked at all
the different versions that you made, so I wrote the additional colorways in the above numbers.

These are great blocks with all the different color ways
you can come up with. thanks for sharing.

I appreciate all the help that everyone has provided because I really want to make that block! But, could you please help me out with the size of 1 square. They all see to be the same size, but I want to get it right. Thanks.

the size i used was 3.5 for the sq & 3 7/8 sq & cut that for triangles. You could make it larger & use 4.5 sq &
4 7/8 sq & cut on diagonal for triangles OR you could cut 2.5 sq & cut 2 7/8 sq & cut on diagonal to make it smaller

Great work by the way! 8-)

not sure where the pattern is available--i usually don't follow a written pattern-----all i saw was a photo & made them from there--
they're only triangles & squares......i used 3.5 sq & 3 7/8 for the triangles.......
i have seen this same pattern in 2 magazines [1979 & 1982] i can look for them if you can't find it & email it to you

You are very good if you just did that from looking at a picture. I like all of the ones you shared, especially the 'bright colors' and 'country'.
