Yay Profannie! Don't you love the help you can get even if it isn't quite the help you were looking for?

When I can't figure it out, I bring up the picture of the quilt into Paint and mark off the blocks. Usually with a grid. Lots of times I am surprised at what the actual block is. The secondary patterns created by the blocks being sewn together creates confusion in finding the actual block(s) and is simplified with using the Paint method. I'm glad others stepped up with this pattern. I didn't even think about drawing it in quarters. That simplified the block tremendously. I would still think about paper piecing it. Matching all those points could get interesting.

Indeed, this is a very enlightening experience. Thanks for your help (and for sending me the designs, they are beautiful and very inspiring). Since I'm a bit of a sloppy piecer I am absolutely considering PP it :-)

I would never be the quilter I've grown to be without this board. You never leave from here empty handed! And sometimes getting not exactly the help you wanted is the best thing that can happen :-)

In this case, I think the seam lines enhance the pattern.

On your model, distance B is slightly longer than distance A, which gives the design a slightly squared look.

Play with it a little bit - if you elongate the B lines, the design will look more square, if you shorten the B lines a bit, the design will look more circular.
