Nahhhh, not impressive at all.... I just opened EQ7 and did a search for "signal light" and that's the one that popped up.

I'm insane about EQ - it's a sickness, what can I say? :mrgreen:

I recolored it and made a pdf of the full-sized templates for the 9-inch block shown in the opening post, in case anyone wants to give it a try.

This was a pretty popular pattern during the war (WWII) and afterward. You see these quilt blocks and tops on eBay every week or so, so apparently it wasn't terribly difficult to piece. If you like hand-piecing, this could be a perfect take-along project. But, it would be fine for piecing on the machine, too. :)
