Neesie is right. just take two striped squares (pieced or printed that way), place right sides with stripes at right angles. Sew two opposite sides on outside of the squares, cut half square triangles. Sew the two hypotenuses together and the block is done. Sew the sashing to 2 sides of the squares (careful, because the sides of the squares are on the diagonal.

I think this works: Start with a larger square, for example 12.5, cut from corners-to-corners. Rearrange and sew off-center and trim/cut a smaller square from it, in this case a 10.5. This way not dependent on the perfect stripe patterns or trying to figure out the optical illusion with each square and also could use two fabric of any design for each block.

Thanks Anita for the info on the free pattern. Another on my bucket list. I've been collecting stripes for a while now, just wondering what I was going to do with them....now I know.
