I saw a free pattern here, and thought it might work well for next year's RSC project. The pattern was for a 16.5 inch block though, which is not exactly a scrap friendly size.
I thought I'd downsize it to a 12 inch size. Obviously it isn't quite right yet. I used a square in a square calculator that I found here. I cut the inner squares to 2 7/8 inches, and then used the easy angle for the outer squares. Somehow, instead of a 4.5 inch unfinished, it was 4 inches unfinished. I also should have squared it up, and the corners seem to be bigger than the edges.
The girls both thought that the outer corners should match the inner corners, but I thought it might look nice with only the inner corners matching each other. I'll keep playing with it, I think, but not tonight. I have a stack of tests to finish grading and my students would be thankful if the grades got posted tonight.

Interesting block. Lovely in the pale blue and green.
I tlooks like you have it all figured out. It is very similar to Home Circle with different fabric placement (and a different center) ... which made me think it might be easy to come up with the measurements for a 5 inch version of that block.
I like this block! It is going to make a gorgeous quilt.
Cute block. I'm wondering how the corners would react to matching the inside when several different blocks got together. Do you have a list of your colors posted some where? I'm very behind so want to at least write down the colors even if I can't get them made right now. Thanks.
It's a fun block. It has the potential to create some really fun secondary patterns.
You have made wonderful quilts. click it. http://www.weaveron.com/
