Oh gosh, I can't really remember right now. The design took a while but, once I had that I used some of my mother in-law's tricks so it didn't take too long to piece together.

Mary Ann's Tips: To make a lot of those smaller blocks I sewed long strips of the two colors together and then just cut the strips up to create the blocks. Then, when you do triangles, you just make a center line on a block and sew to either side of the line, then cut down the line to create two blocks of two triangles. It doesn't seem like it would save much time but, it really does (especially when you're doing a lot of them).

I do have a pattern. It's in my closet with the pieces for my own Slytheirn quilt that I was going to make after I got back from visiting Emma. Needless to say, it's still just bits and pieces. I'll try and get it typed up for you after I finish this crochet poncho I'm working on for my grandmother's 80th birthday.
