you could even layer the 3 sizes on top of each other to make a 3D flower effect.

This was my thought too but I like the sound of dunster's book. :D

$145?????? I think that's a typo! Luckily there are used copies from $2.97! :mrgreen:

Hey, I'll sell my copy for only $72.50. That's half price. Any takers? :) :?: :)

a row of five 12" blocks = 60"
a row of ten 6" blocks = 60"
a row of fifteen 4" blocks = 60"

or

make a 12" block, beside that sew three 4" blocks, then an 8" with two 4" blocks underneath, results in 24" X 12" table runner - or two sets makes 24" square.

here is what I mean

How about a friendship star. It is a nine patch and easy to figure out in 3 sizes and easy to make. The first one could be the center of the second and the second could be the center of the third.
Many other blocks could be done the same way.
