Like I've said before, this pattern is not hard. However I did change how the whole thing goes together, which I think is easier than cutting a large square and cutting a hole in the center out, then sewing your pieced circle into that hole. I made them in four square blocks, by sewing on an "L" of background fabric to each quarter circle, then sewed the four squares together to make a completed circle block.

I can do this, but will need to charge a nominal fee to cover cost of copies and postage. The pattern is 5 pages.

Another question about your fabrics: are they cottons, satins, silks? They seem to have such sparkle, especially that gold print. It looks like lame' in the picture. I am just in love with your blocks!

I am just asking, if it is five pages, why not copy front back of the pattern, would make it 3 pages?

I am not into your beautiful quilt ,YET, but thought I would ask.

Good idea, hadn't thought of that, but will go that route probably.

and yes the cost is less for you.Just an idea, I also have done some printing outs( for genealogy in particular) and it does get quite pricy, and if I use mine well it still costs. I just want to make a way to cut costs and all, so you go with it.

They are all cotton. The gold print is # KM - CM 7967 "Karen Montgomery" for Timeless Treasures Fabrics, Inc. The print reminds me of roses or zinnias, when you see a large section of it. I'm just using it as gold metallic tho.
