My friend Erica made a scrap quilt on point with a log cabin variation. I loved it, revised the proportions, and adapted it to the solids/prints style.
My design from a traditional pattern. Use at your pleasure.
Fiddly cutting here but I think with great results.
Cut
Solid: One each of six rectangles cut from 1 1/2 inch strip: 9 1/2, 8 1/2, 6 1/2, 5 1/2, 3 1/2, 2 1/2
Print: One 2 1/2 inch square, One each of four rectangles cut from 2 1/2 inch
strip: 3 1/2, 5 1/2, 6 1/2, 8 1/2
Sewing
I found it best to sew with the narrow solid on top at each stage
Pressing
All pressing away from the 2 1/2 inch square

I love this block! I have some very textured hand dyed fabrics that I've been pondering and this would work great for them.
ReplyDeleteOH Lynn! I love this block too!!! So much fun....not too fiddly!!
ReplyDeleteI have a project that will need 6” finished blocks ... I can use this same approach but with all 1.5” cut strips - thanks!
ReplyDeleteI do like the effect of this block, think I may have to add to my project list, thanks for sharing your process.
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are looking good! Setting them on point makes them look more complex and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat's another lovely block you are sharing with us all. Hope you are well it's been a wee while between your posts?
