Finally!! This was a deceptively simple pattern. Its name is Magic Squares by Helene Knott for Story Quilts. The same block made in 4, 8 and 12 inch sizes (finished) and then put together. All fabrics were Stonehenge by Northcott.

I found that each block had to be trimmed very precisely or they would not fit properly. And then, the pattern was for a lap or twin size while I wanted a Queen. Yep, ended up totally changing the layout and, of course, making it just a wee bit (whole lot) harder to put together. I am thoroughly sick of HST's and would be happy to never see another one in this lifetime (or at least for the next few months!) And POINTS!!! I HATE points!! I think I will devote myself to circular quilts from now on!! This quilt probably has more weight from thread than it will have from batting!!!

When I was laying it out for the photo, I found one glaring error--which I will deal with tomorrow. Right now I am sitting down to a very well deserved beverage.

The pattern calls for a narrow border using the green and then a wider border using the rusty colour. I am thinking that it may look better with a narrow border of the darkest fabric and then a wider border of the green. I shall try a few combinations and decide tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.
