this method is easy fun if you're shooting for whimsy. so, i'm not suggesting we discard the idea altogether. i just wanted to be honest about the fact that it's no longer "fun, quick and easy" if you want precise, symmetrical blocks.

I am unable to print stuff out because for some stupid reason, when I see someone has a url posted, I click on it and and save it and when i try to open it up it will not open in microsoft works and I dont have a clue on how to change that. Really aggravating.

That you so much for posting this tutorial! I've never done quilts before. I have been working on different patterns from my embroidery machine (Ellure Plus Backlock) with my stepdaughter. She is 28 and mentally handicapped and loves to help me embroidery! I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them, but after reading your post I got busy and finished off two of these with my embroidery squares in the center and using coordinating material to match. They turned out beautiful! I can't believe that I actually did it!

Look what happens when you take the butterflies out of the shampoo!
I cut the square in the square block and sewed those pieces to the solid square. I kept going for several rounds. I can see many possibilities planning the fabric for different looks. I used scrap fabric so the block isn't that pretty color choice. Here it is: not squared up or pressed.
The block is 14"
