Original pattern used templates but the new strip pieced rotary cutting methods make it easy.
You have four rectangles and one square.
The block is divisible by three...
So you can easily make a 6 inch, a 9 inch or a 12 inch block.
We will be making a six inch block for our lesson on this block that teaches how to sew partial seams.

This particular quilt using 6" blocks:
Measures 42.68" inches by 59.40 inches
WITHOUT THE BORDERS.
50.43" X 67.40 inches with ONE 4 inch border.
52.43 X 69.40 with Two borders as shown. The inside border is 2 inches finished (cut 2 1/2") and the outside border is 3 inches finished (cut 3 1/2").
It is set "on point" with setting triangles around the whole outside that match the background fabric so the quilt seems to "float".
You can surely change the borders to any style/width you choose. This will increase/decrease the size of your finished quilt.
