I want to try this block/quilt. I live in Florida and collected Light houses two years ago on a Shop Hop. I saw where some one did the Sea Storm quilt putting the Light houses in the center of the blocks totally awesome. Can some one explain how to do this block with the center beginning 8 inches.

Here is a diagram that shows you how to draw your own block, it's quite easy if you note the numbers. You can cut out some of the sections as templates, but don't forget to add 1/4" all around for seam allowances. This will make the centre block cut at 8 1/2'', so if your lighthouse blocks are only 8" you may need to add 1/2" to two sides, or downsize all pieces.

Actually, if your blocks are only 8", you may not need to add the 1/4" to any pieces.
