Nautical quilt pattern - by Melissa Milligan for Villa Rosa Designs

Melissa Milligan has a clever way to construct this fun diagonal block. It starts with two different simple blocks. They are each sliced on the diagonal and then pieced one with the other. These new blocks are sewn into an off-center barn raising. It makes for an artful look, but one that is fun to construct.
Like all Villa Rosa Designs patterns, it is easy to read with just one size, 48”x 57”.
No need for special tools - just your favorite rotary cutter and ruler.
