Scrappy Quilt
#18
Actually there were not any rectangles. It is just squares. I used 3" squares & you have 16 x 3" squares to make one block. It is just an illusion that the blocks are overlapping. That is what I thought was so much fun. The center blocks are made with 4 x 3" squares using all the same color. The blocks around the center blocks are all 3" squares. I arranged the 16 x 3" (or whatever you choose) blocks in rows & sewed the 4 rows together to make one block. When you sew them together it gives the impression that the center block is overlapping 4 other blocks. There are 8 blocks across the top of the quilt & each of the 8 blocks has 16 x 3" blocks. Hope that helps?

Chele, I can't get to my patterns right now but I would be able to take a digital photo (scanners not working) & post it later e-mail it to you if you want to send your e-mail in a PM?

I see that mine has smaller squares in the middle. Here is a sketch I did of it. Also, I was making 48 identical ones and not such a pretty variety as you have in yours! I LOVE that quilt! So I did mine by strip piecing panels, slicing, etc.
