    No, it's done to the One Block Wonder method - see my penultimate post above. I just used up the blocks I had left over from the bigger "Rings of Fire" quilt I just finished.

    All I have left now is one small setting square!
    The fabric is from the Aquatica range by Robert Kaufman, there is a photo of it in the following:

    OBW - One Block Wonder (a pattern that is made out of only one fabric - although some are using 2 to make them more colorful).
