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. - |
Your tutes are great. This makes it look sooo simple. Thank you.

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.

Thanks again for a great tut and your willingness to share your time and your ideas.
