This block is interesting because it blends well with American Indian D esign. I enlarged the block to make a 12 inch block. I brought enough mat erial from Holly Lobby for the centers(5 inch sq.) of Indian bowls material , the rest of bowl material will be the outer border/binding. Am using tur quoise for the 1 1/4 inch strips that goes around the 5 inch center section . The two plain squares are 3 1/2 inch squares of very, very light tan goe s in opposite corners. That just leaves half squares using 1 tan and 1 dar k green 4 7/8 inch squares with penciled center line(corner to corner)with 1/4 inch sewn on each side of line, then cut in half on the pencil line. T his makes two half squares, so you need 5 sets of these. Go to

Correction Correction Correction I would like to make a correction to the half squares. So Sorry about this. Where it says 4 and 7/8 inches, the correct measurements is 3 7/8 inches on all the half squares. Sandy$
Hello Bobby Sews More, Thank you for your thoughts on my quilts. I was beginning to wonder where everyone has gone. Sandy$
Is this it:
It kinda looks like what you are describing.
Hello Brian, Yes, this is the right quilt and I am making it American Indian in style and also enlarged it to 12 inch blocks. You will need to use sashing because of all the half squares. Thank you for you expert help. Sandy$
