The Great 6" Block Swap in Spring
Colors At the January 23, 2007 meeting, it was demonstrated how 6" blocks can be straight stitched together to create a simple quilt top. Then that can be re-cut using a template that lays across the intersection of 4 block pieced areas. The template is placed at an angle and the new block is marked for cutting. When the new blocks are cut out of the top, the are re-sewn again with straight sewing to create a different top that has a spinning top effect. We'll do a block swap at the March 27th, 2007 program meeting in spring colors to help create some fun versions of this quilt pattern.
This Block Swap will be run like a
cookie exchange. Bring your cut blocks in to the meeting and then take a
block from all the other piles of blocks brought by others. The result
should be a satisfactory diverse pile from which to construct the top that
will eventually be re-cut and resewn. |
