I accidentally posted this on Pictures. Sorry about the duplicate.
Hello,
I am a fan of EQ7 for designing quilts. One of the problems to be overcome as a result of using the tool is that you have to figure out how to actually construct the blocks you design. This particular block is simple in design, but I haven't figured out the best way to construct it without a lot of measuring or a lot of fabric waste. Here's the original block:
I thought it would be simpler to construct the block as a half square triangle with a solid blue triangle and a triangle made of strips like this:
I know if the corner white triangle were blue as well I could construct a substrate and then use a triangle
ruler to cut without much waste. The lone white stripe makes it difficult. I also need to be careful in my piecing because the seams must match with adjacent border blocks as well as the main quilt blocks. Here is picture showing how the block will be used to construct a pieced border.
Does anyone have any suggestions:
