    Thangles are a foundation paper you use to make half square triangles. Some people really like to use these as they give you a very accurate half square triangle.

If you want to make it, stock up on Thangles. They make piecing all those 1/2 square triangles so much easier and save on fabric too. I've attached some pictures you can see it closer for those of you who have requested this.
    Do you know if you can still get the pattern? I know it would take a while but it would be worth it. I just love this quilt.

    I played with EQ7 and reverse engineered some instructions for the "megablock" (which consists of 64 squares/HSTs). I had noticed that each megablock consists of four 4x4 squares/HSTs, which are all constructed alike.

    The megablocks are separated by sashing. If anyone is willing to work with my rudimentary instructions I'd be glad to post them, even with the EQ7 drawings. Or you can PM me.
