I did not have a pattern - drew it up on EQ after a class - My dear friend Barb teaches this technique - it's easy! Cut backing and wadding a couple of inches larger than finished block - draw diagonals on wadding (laid on top of backing) - this gives you the centre of the block - sew precut strips around a centre square, flipping each strip as you go - does that make sense?? All the blocks were then joined together by machine on the front - and then by hand on the back - lots of hand sewing!! Will post a pic of a part sewn block if you like ...

hehe :) Davee is well over six foot (I'm just 6 foot!) so needed a nice long one to cover him! Actually goes over the pillows as well - I chose to complete the design so that it was symetrical - that meant it was way longer than needed - glad I did tho' ...

Oh Sandy ... our son's are such special men in our lives! Davee (he's actually a David!) is a wonderful son and young man and we are all so very proud of him - often brings tears to my eyes ... Do hope you get yours done by March --- keep me posted!
