This block is so easy it makes me feel guilty! I just attached the link to the tutorial from the forum. The only thing I did was to turn the center white block edges under to create the curves and hand stitched them down. I like hand sewing so it went quick but you can certainly machine sew the edges. Another idea is to create a faux cathedral window - cut a smaller block to fit in the white center block and bring the edges of the white block over the raw edges of the smaller block. Also go look at cat on a mac's quilt gallery - a bunch of 10 minute block quilts were posted there. A time saver was to 'birth the quilt' - layer the batting on the bottom, then the quilt top right side up, then the back right side down. Sew around the quilt, leaving about a 5" inch opening. Turn the thing inside out, stitch the opening shut and press.
