Free Quilt Block Pattern

We all love the song ... well at least I do, and did you know that there is a quilt block called Danny Boy too? Naturally, I chose to make my version is a variety of greens to keep with the Irish theme? (I wonder if they ever get tired of having green associated with "Irish"?)

The nine patch block is simple enough to make, using squares and half square triangles, but then you get the added interest in the centre with a square in the square patch.
