      Sorry, I haven't written a pattern for this quilt (and I've given it away, so can't confirm measurements etc.) but this blog post has a bit more information: sampaguitaquilts.blogspot.com/2011/01/growing .html Feel free to use this, and I'm happy to answer any questions for you to make your own version for personal use, but I'd appreciate it if you'd reference my design if you share images etc.
