I love TAW quilts and I have so many scraps. Thanks Joan for asking the question and everyone for the replies - now I have the info too. I love this board. It make quilting and my retirement the best part of my retirement so far!

One block, made like any TATW block (find directions from Bonnie Hunter here - http://quiltville.com/scrappytripspf.html) and with dark color on diagonal, light colors elsewhere. I used a 10x10 setting (she says 81 blocks, but TATW needs an even number of blocks) and 2" blocks for a quilt that's 120x120 - can always make it smaller though. 
(Sigh) Yet another quilt for the bucket list...
As badly as I want to make this, I have to stay on track for my UFO completions!!
(muttering to myself... "I will NOT start a scrappy TAW... I WILL NOT start a scrappy TAW...")

Maureen and Dunster's block is the way to go. So much easier to do blocks rather than rows. The lady said she used (81) 12 inch blocks and her quilt is 108 inches which means she used a 9 X 9 block setting. She set 8 blocks with a half block on the end of each row. Happy stitching!!!
