    So, in spite of the fact that I sometimes can't get the pics on this board to print (if they have that little safety pin thingy up in the corner, a lot of the time, my printer will just give me an empty square), yours did, and I am so happy to head out right now and make one of these squares. Thank you thank you thank you.
    This is so funny, not crossing the yard at night. I totally understand.

    Years ago my studio was in the workshop attached to the nearby garage. I used to love to walk there after supper and spend my late hours sewing. DH worked nights so I was all alone, in a new house in the woods. Calling it a night, I turned the studio lights out and stepped out my door to head to the house in pitch darkness. The solar motion light would go on, it would, it would so I didn't think twice and stepped right into something big and hard, just out of the motion detector. Believe me, I froze and really couldn't move for what seemed like forever.

    When I came to my senses, I realized this whatever wasn't moving either. I planned my next move, had to do something, anything. So I moved, slowly feeling my way up and down this stranger that should not be there. It didn't budge. I made my way around the unknown until getting into the motion light action area. BLINK, lights on, I am safe again, I can breath. Then all by myself in the dark woods I started to laugh when I found myself staring at a handcart my DH had left by the door just before leaving for work. I still break out in a sweat when I recall this dangerous encounter with the unmovable horns.

    So what do you have, alligators?

    I moved my studio into the house after that an boy do I miss the workshop studio.
    peace

    Thanks for any insight, Louise
    You just made a new design. It's very pretty that way.

    As an alternative, here's a PDF of EQ's rotary cutting chart for a finished 12" block (12 1/2" unfinished). The only piece it does not include is the four corner pieces as they can't be rotary cut as polygons. They are 4 1/2" squares and you sew one triangle to one corner of each square.
