How would you do this?
I have several of these blocks that I won at a quilt meeting and want to set them in a Christmas tree shape as you see here but more rows of course. I want to surround these with different green fabrics from my stash. So here's my question:
The blocks are 10" square now and I was thinking of adding 5x10" rectangles made into 10" squares set on the outsides of these where the row would have 2 different green fabrics going horizontally then two green fabrics set vertically and alternating horizontal and vertical to the ends outside the ornament blocks as wide as I decide to go with them so the ornaments would end up tree shaped (large triangle).
So would I cut 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" rectangles for each or does it depend on the direction they go? Or would I have to cut 5 1/2 x 10" or 5 x10 1/2" for every other square as they alternate?
i know I could just cut all 5 1/2" squares and do 4patches but this seems more interesting, I'm just not sure what to cut. Any thoughts from you brilliant ladies would be appreciated.
