tried this method this a.m. and it is fun and so easy...I had 4 1/2" sqs all cut so I used them and only basted to try the method and not waste my fabric...well it is sooooooo easy and took less than 5 minutes for the block..will be little more if i press of course |
I tried one of the blocks last week and ended up making 2 quilts it was so fun and easy. I had 6 1/2" blocks already cut waiting for me to do something with them. Great fun.

I used this same method to make this bowtie quilt. I used 3" squares, so my blocks are a little smaller - but love the effect!
|

|
That looks like fun...I have a bunch of 5" squares that I can play with..have to try it today

I have been working ona scrappy quilt doing this. I just need to sew the blocks together. Super fast...
|
I can't wait to try it. Looks like so much fun.
|
thanks for that. i also looked at fun and done and found that is evidently how I did my Hawaaian squares quilt. I just thought i figured it out myself. well, i did.hadn't seen fun and done before. quilt as you go actually but i like the backing being the seam covering on the front.
|
Am I the only one this seems a little wasteful of fabric to? I guess the time saved makes up for that... somehow tho, it twinges my thrift sense. LOL

Connecting Threads has the book on sale. I've only done practice blocks, and you lose a little of the center block, but all of the four background blocks are shown.
|
You also can order the book at http://www.d-originals.com It is $16.99 there. You might be able to get it at JoAnns too & use a coupon to save some money.

Outstanding!!!

I saw this block last week here on the board and couldn't wait to try it. It was so quick and easy. I tried a few days later to go back to the message showing it and couldn't find it. Can someone send the link to it?
This is the practice block I made. I'm not sure what I'll make - maybe a table runner for the summer patriotic holidays. My practice block [ATTACH=CONFIG]118589[/ATTACH] |

I found the book on Amazon - can't wait. Not on back order.
|
Thank you!!!!!!
|
I got mine from Connecting Threads they had them for $10.19 and with shipping it was $13.48
|
By making the middle square much larger and folding it back, you get the Drunkard's Path type look.
|
How do you make the middle square larger? Do you mean cutting it larger to begin with? If so, how much larger than the other 4 squares would you cut it?
|
I made one in a afternoon! Absolutely love this technique.

I wouldn't do 10" squares but did like the smaller squares...guess best thing to do is just do a few sample pieces and see what appeals most to you |
