    That's funny...I learnt yesterday how to make this block too, but I only had enough to do baby quilt with border using the 5" blocks. It was cool to do but I wouldn't want to make an bigger quilt with this...kind of time consuming getting that middle block line up right before sewing! Maybe if I use and bigger block? Yours turn out very nice!

    What I found that helped me get the smaller blocked lined up right was instead of folding the center square in half to form a rectangle, I folded it into fourths and pressed it then unfolded it once, this way I had a clear mark of where the sides should fold when I went to open it up ! It really helped to have a visual mark of where I needed to open !

    Your quilt is just beautiful. I'm repeating to myself - "step away from the computer, don't go to the 10 minute block site". Squirrel!

    You did good being distracted, we all should be distracted from time to time. Love the easy way to do the window blocks.
