Thanks so much Rhonda...this is how I've been making the block....but that was before I received your handy templates this week!!! You are so amazing and what a special person you are to be so willing to spend your valuable time to create and share with all of us!!! I can't thank you enough.

Well with my Cut Down Method it reduces the pattern to a 9 patch. My method uses 4 Boston Blocks / 4 HSTs cut out my way and the center is a Combo 4 patch cut out my way.

I used a 3 1/2" template and the finished size is 9 1/2". If you want to make a 12 1/2" quilt block use a 4 1/2" template.

Hope this tutorial helps make this block easier to make.

Thanks for a great Tute! This is a block I've always avoided but I'm excited about giving it a try (now that I have your templates, too!)

There's an even easier version by Eleanor Burns tha reduces it to a four-patch. Check out her Winning Hand pattern. That's how I did it. It was only my third quilt.
