This video is of Shauna demonstrating all of the steps to make the 10 minute block
at our February 2013 quilt class. It was a little tricky, but she made it look so easy!
You should have heard the squeals coming from all of us when we finally got it!
SO MUCH FUN!!! Isn't it pretty?

middles 1 ¼ yd
2 ¼ yd each of 2 fabrics for background

4 ½ yd each of 2 fabrics for background
King 108” x 108”, (12 x 12) 144 blocks
middles 2 ¾ yd

Cut 5” squares of all three fabrics; middles cut the same number as # of blocks there are, and backgrounds, cut 2 of each fabric per block, so you end up with 5 squares all together.
