This is what I ended up with when I took six 10' blocks and some 1'' black strips to our patchwork day. The first thing we done was to put the blocks together and do two cuts ( CUT 1), ending with three lots of six. Move the top piece from lot A to the bottom and move the top two pieces from lot C to the bottom. Join A & B with the 1' black strip and join B & C with the 1' black strip. You now have a new block. Do that to all six blocks. Press the six blocks and cut as in ( CUT 2). Repeat the above again and cut again (CUT 3). Repeat the above again. Trim the blocks. I ended up with 6 x 8 1/2' blocks. I joined tmy blocks together with the 1" strip, others used 2'' strips but you can use whatever you like. I made mine from Halloween fabric and made another two lots of blocks. I am going to make s small quilt for one of the boys. They like the skulls and
gruesome stuff. Another mystery solved.
Very nice. Gayle.xx
ReplyDeleteI love the way those black strips make the colours pop. It's a great effect :)
