Hello Dear Reader,
I'm in the middle of making a 'crumb quilt' from all the tiny bits of off cuts I have left. I've now used up all the tiny bits and now I'm using some of the 5" squares I have. I started with a nine patch.
I cut that on the diagonal and then made the another cut on the other diagonal. I then stacked them one on top of the other and cut straight down the centre of the triangle (from the right angle to the centre of the hypotenuse)
This gave me eight triangles which I then turned into two blocks. Here it is before it was sewn together.
Here it is pressed and sewn together.
Here's another block in the making -starting with the nine patch.
Here are the triangles piled up to cut into the final eight.
They form some really interesting patterns when put together. Here's where you can see the 'twist'.
Here's what all the pieces look like before they are assembled. As I said, they make two blocks.
I 'found' this block by accident and now I'm trying to think up other blocks. I'm sure someone has already done that but this felt quite new to me.
The 'crumb' quilt is for Dearly Beloved..................I'm sure you won't tell him as it's a surprise.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxxxxxxxxx
