I have shortcut methods I call my cut down methods. Using this idea I have several units I call "Blocks"
The shortcut method or cut down method means you cut swatches of fabric. Sew them together and then cut out a square from the center. Saves time and effort and allows you to make intricate looking quilt blocks with easy steps. Great for beginners.

so I was playing with a quilt block and I want to show you how you can take one Quilt Block and turn the blocks to make 13 differant looks with the same 16 "Blocks" this "Block" is made with my Wings Block.

You can find the directions for making this "Block" here

You will need templates and especially my 30 degree angle template. So you can email me at [email protected] or pm me. I will be happy to send them to you for free. I need your postal address. PLEASE DON"T POST personal info on the open forum!!

After I post all the quilt blocks and layouts I will show you how to take one quilt block and by changing colors you can make new looks just by using color in differant ways.
This is important to now so when you choose your fabrics you will have the look you want in your finished product. The way you use light dark and medium fabrics is very important. You have to be aware of how one plays againts another color. You need to decide if you want stong contrast or if you want the fabrics to blend together. So I will show you some examples of good choices and bad choices at least in my opinion!

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions! Thanks Rhonda
