    Thanks for adding the pic ... I was just too quick on the draw!

    Lovely, how you have done the inner diamonds!

    i have made a mistake. I got mixed up & replied to a wrong thread. This is not 4 squares, but 5. it is the 10 min block.

    but, I'm leaving it up. :D

    And I thought I couldn't see the kaleidoscope part of it, just because it was pale and the detail didn't show! :)

    It sounds like you're describing a "4 patch posie". It's pretty easy.

    Here is a 4 patch posey I did. I do love this pattern. You can actually make the squares any size you want. I usually see how wide my fabric is and then decide on the most effecient size.
