This link is the quilt that someone made and it says on her blog that there isn't a pattern. How can I figure out how to make it if I only know that she used 13" HST's and it was 14" squares? Thanks in advance for any guidance you may have! Here is the link:

So, would I cut 32 - 14" squares and then cut them on the diagonal to make 64 HST's? I do plan on adding a border. Its also hard to tell how many fabrics she used but I have bought 6 different shades for the pattern. I hope that will be enough! Thank you for your help!

Draw a diagonal line (corner to corner) on the lighter square and sew 1/4" on either side of the line, THEN cut on the line. Press and trim down to 13.5". Each pair yields 2 HST, so 32 pairs yields 64 HST.
