    This is my plan going forward. What do you think about the black sashing that each block will have?
    Should the black be more narrow?
    Love all of your unique designs and color choices! Wow

      My latest blocks- the double sawtooth star is in my old quick and easy block tool book published in 2003

          I just ordered some of Kaffe's dotted fabrics! I like the way you have organized your blocks.

            BleuRose, Here are samples of 6 inch block size with half inch sashings
            in black white and 1 inch in black. Maybe this will help you visualize the proportions. HelenW

                I'd use my Accuquilt if I had the 6" set -- consider it another way of cutting out the fabric and maybe sewing them together a bit differently, too!

                  Very nice! I was thinking of doing something similar but using black and white scraps with all these bold colors.

                    Can’t see your blocks..

                    Comment


                      Alex has added to the cutting measurements of some of the blocks by 7/8ths". Is that addition only for the half square triangles? Are all the rest cut as written in the book? I hope these questions make sense!

                        I’m going for a blended effect. Any suggestions?
                        The lightest color should be top left with darkest blue in lower right. The photo rotated on me.

                                Thanks, Alex, for the 3” challenge and for suggesting paper piecing! I did a snails trail for one, and a tiny sawtooth star as the center for the sawtooth star. I loved how the orange creates a completely different looking block. -Kami
