The quilt below is the setting shown in Kathy's picture, and the block below that is the block used. As you can see, it's incredibly easy to make, and great for scrappy quilts.

I made a Tonga Coastal without a pattern, and had the "block" wrong when I started. I couldn't pick out the block at first. The blocks we "make" are not always the blocks we "see". If the picture does not come with this quote, refer to post no. 15 for the block.

I also dislike snowballing corners if I can make HST's for that. Snowballing wastes so much fabric, and if I sew those little corners to make small HST's, I just get more scraps to use up. That can be fun- - - for a while.
