What should I make for my first block?
I decided I want to make a potholder set this weekend for my friends wedding next weekend. I'm thinking a mitt and a quilt block pad.
Theres a few challenges:
1: I've never done anything other than quilts made from squares of the same size. I like the idea of trying out a half square triangle or strips, or size variety, something I can learn from but I don't want to get in over my head.
2: It would have to be done with 1-3 fabric varieties. I'm hoping to pick up a main fabric and a couple accents, but I don't have a big stash/budget
3: Nothing too county or cutesy. The recipients are kind of alternative types. He's involved in the piercing community, but enjoys cooking. She's a little earthy. Something with a bit of an esoteric feel would be perfect
So suggestions???
Im kind of leaning towards snail trail block. I love it but I'm worried that its not beginner enough.
