OR you could use up your scrap bag. or do both.
the pattern has 20 different blocks. no specific layout. 17 of the blocks take on 4 different "personalities" as you rotate them. 2 of them have 2 different looks. only 1 looks the same no matter what. if you mirror the block patterns, you nearly double the number of possibilities. effective result is somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 "different blocks". I'd have to track down an algebra text bood to calculate the number of layout combinations but we're easily talking hundreds.
sorry to go on like that. i'm just a little proud of it. can you tell? LOL
and thanks, all, for the compliments. it's scary, sometimes, to post our work isn't it? i want to give this to a friend. now i know she'll really like it and not just "politely" like it. :-)
Holy cow Patrice. What a great quilt!! Trust me, there is no way your friend will be "politely" about this. Her enthusiasm will be genuine. I love your exhuberance for your quilt. You should teach a class on this. :D
