And I LOVE this block!
It is from this book.....
which I borrowed from my local library!
The block came together SO easily!
It starts with five 2 and a half inch strips....
Joined and then folded in half lengthways.
Using my new 60 degree ruler, diamond shapes were cut!
Isn't it pretty?
I played around with the layout but this is what I ended up with!
There are even useable pieces leftover.
Now how will I use these?
or
or, striped into a row!
This is definitely the beginnings of my new quilt!
I love it!
I'm off to make some more!!
Happy sewing!

ReplyDeleteFabulous. I have to get a 60 degree ruler. You are so clever with your fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteWowza Suz!!! I can't wait to get my hands on that book!!! This block is fabulous and your fabric choices are fabulous! I love the way you used the striped fabric - gives it lots of movement!!! I had to look twice to be sure I was on the right blog! Love the new look :)
ReplyDeleteVery clever! gee, I don't own a 60 deg ruler (must be the only thing I DON'T HAVE!!)... so now I have to get one and make this block... love it!
