A blogger made one and tells about it: http://www.sameliasmum.com/2013/03/s...l#.UaI0tECUQu0
The Crafty class is 50% off now so I bought it. This quilt technique has me interested. I have the urge to do some hand piecing.

Wow, Alienquilter, you are amazing! I'd been following this thread, hoping that someone would be able to explain how to piece this...it just looked fascinating. Hmn, I may sign up for the course just because I'd like to learn 'step-down piecing'. Thank you once again for finding the answer!

Well, I still haven't figured out how to do the stepped down piecing for the pattern you show - guess I'll have to buy the book (although I've only been able to find the eReader veersion). I did run across this tutorial on Seminole piecing. It's not exactly the same but it shows how to think about piecing in another way besides traditional strips.

I have been to many of the classes from the same teachers that now have Crafty classes. I have paid $65 and more per class and traveled several days for some of them. Crafty classes are the best value around even at full price.

You're welcome!
I agree with BellaBoo. I have signed up for several Craftsy classes. I don't even have to lug my heavy machine around. Also, like to sit at the computer with headphones on in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. And watch different techniques over and over again until I understand it. Plus there's a place to ask questions where the teacher and other students can help you out. Kind of like this forum!

I've just watched the video lesson for the second time. What an interesting way of doing this block! It is definitely the kind of method that needs to be seen (and tried out). I'm going to try it out as soon as my current project is ready to leave its home on the design wall.

Identifying quilt patterns
Saw this quilt in a show. I love a good puzzle but can't figure out how this one goes together. Does anyone know the name of this pattern or link to a site that can solve this puzzle. I think it would be fun to make and let others try and figure the pattern out.
