From the pattern cover -
This easy to piece block is great for slightly thicker fabrics, like wool and silk kimono fabrics (as shown above), Japanese taupe textured cottons, woven plaids or stripes and flannels.  Thirty six blocks make a quick machine sewn quilt from eighteen different fabrics, plus a bright centre square, framed by a wide border suitable for larger patterns.  The square in a square block design is reminiscent of traditional stacking masu, Japanese wooden measuring boxes. Instructions include piecing diagrams, quilt assembly plan and quilting suggestion. Finished quilt size 77in square approx. 

Cutting instructions are given for both traditional Japanese narrow width fabrics and fat quaters.  The pattern is fat quarter friendly. The third photo shows blocks from a version I've made using hand stencilled Japanese yukata cottons combined with woven stripes.

Materials:
fabric pieces either – eighteen 25 x 14in pieces kimono fabric, in silk, wool, cotton or blends or eighteen fat quarters 
thirty six 2in squares, for block centres (see Idea below)
border fabric –two pieces 7in x 63½in; 
two pieces 7 in x 77in
backing fabric slightly larger than finished quilt size (may be pieced)
2oz wadding slightly larger than finished quilt size
9 yards fabric strips, for binding – width dictated by your favourite method
machine sewing thread to tone with fabrics (for patchwork)
quilting thread to tone with fabrics
tacking thread or pins for tacking the quilt sandwich
 
You also need:
Quilters’ rule, cutting mat and rotary cutter 
sewing machine to assemble patchwork – with a quarter inch patchwork foot 
scissors
sewing needle
sewing pins & tacking (basting) thread
 
Idea – thinner silks can be used for the block centre. Back the fabric with lightweight iron on stabiliser (such as “Vilene”) first, then cut out the squares. The stabiliser will add weight and stop the edges fraying too much.

As there have been changes to the VAT rating of UK books and booklets, changing to zero VAT on 1st May 2020, I am now able to offer my pdf patterns as a direct download from my website and will be adding more over the next few weeks.
