Hi All!
Teresa has just informed me that I am the new winner for this month's QBE.
I wanted to pick something easy so a 9-patch variation came to mind.
   My ANSI drawing is not so good so if you could visualize 9 patches.
   The corner patches are made up of 4-patches -  and the others are
   regular patches.  I would like this pattern made up as a 12 1/2"
   unfinished size with white background and blue (any shade is OK)
   You will need to cut   3  white squares 4 1/2"
                          1  blue  square  4 1/2"
                          8  white squares 2 1/2"
                          8  blue  squares 2 1/2"
   Use the 2 1/2" squares to make the 4-patches as follows:
          ---------------
          l      l      l
          l blue l whitel
          ---------------
          l      l      l
          l whitel blue l
          ---------------
   When sewing up the 9-patch sew these 4-patches as the corner squares
   a large blue square in the middle with large white squares elsewhere.
   The block will look like a blue  X on a white background.

   Thanks in advance for blocks coming my way and have fun making this
   simple block.  Please advise me if your block is in the mail as I will
   be drawing for the next winner the end of Mar.  You could be the 
   next winner!
