Good Morning Vicki. If you are a newbie, I would suggest you avoid this block. Take a close look at the bottom seam and you will see it curve. The lower blue HSTs is definitely kinked. If you wanted to make just one block, I would make it using PPing. Cut the center diagonal section into one piece and then do what is on each side as a separate unit. Not sure if that would work, but you get much more accurate piecing with PP.
I drew the block on EQ7. The block is in 5 sections so I don't know how she made a 12" block. It naturally is a 10" block. Here is my drawing along with how to do one with using PPing technique.

The pattern being sold is done with paper piecing also. Because of that, the size of the block is not restricted to easy measurements.

Wow Now I know I'm being too ambitious! I'm going to store this block on my computer for future as I really like it but I'm being such a perfectionist (not a good idea) with my piecing at that moment that if I landed up with a wonky seam it would drive me crazy. Thank you everyone for your valuable input, especially ManiacQuilter2 for your excellent explanation.

Trying to make it into a 12 inch block is another story.

The name of the block is Providence. None of the following are paper pieced.
10" block from Quilter's Cache: http://www.quilterscache.com/P/ProvidenceQuilt.html
12" block from McCall's: http://www.mccallsquilting.com/qb/mc...207/index.html
15" block from Ludlow Quilt and Sew (with video): http://ludlowquiltandsew.co.uk/tag/p...e-quilt-block/
PS: Can any one tell me why the word quilt in the third option automatically linked to Ebay? Is there a way to turn than off?

Not exactly a newbie but I have absolutely no luck when trying to paper piece, multiple times. I guess my brain is just not wired to paper piece But this one http://www.mccallsquilting.com/qb/mc...207/index.html definitely seems doable. Just do one section at a time. Also it shows you how to do your pink and red blocks. Good luck. Yea, try one block first, maybe with scraps, just to see if it is doable or you hate it LOL. Watch those bias cut and starch, to help with bias stretching!
