I saw a free pattern here, and thought it might work well for next year's RSC project. The pattern was for a 16.5 inch block though, which is not exactly a scrap friendly size.
I thought I'd downsize it to a 12 inch size. Obviously it isn't quite right yet. I used a square in a square calculator that I found here. I cut the inner squares to 2 7/8 inches, and then used the easy angle for the outer squares. Somehow, instead of a 4.5 inch unfinished, it was 4 inches unfinished. I also should have squared it up, and the corners seem to be bigger than the edges.
The girls both thought that the outer corners should match the inner corners, but I thought it might look nice with only the inner corners matching each other. I'll keep playing with it, I think, but not tonight. I have a stack of tests to finish grading and my students would be thankful if the grades got posted tonight.
Interesting block. Lovely in the pale blue and green.

ReplyDeleteI tlooks like you have it all figured out. It is very similar to Home Circle with different fabric placement (and a different center) ... which made me think it might be easy to come up with the measurements for a 5 inch version of that block.
ReplyDeleteI like this block! It is going to make a gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteCute block. I'm wondering how the corners would react to matching the inside when several different blocks got together. Do you have a list of your colors posted some where? I'm very behind so want to at least write down the colors even if I can't get them made right now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun block. It has the potential to create some really fun secondary patterns.
