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.

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

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.
