My test blocks worked just fine, I used the quick construction technique from Karla Alexander, the "Stack the Deck" concept.

They have template kits now you can buy, Karla was one of the founders of the technique and the book teaches you to do it without templates and gives a lot of good directions on how to get enough fabrics to mix well, that's the Stacking the Deck part.
I've lost track of how many quilts I have made using Karla Alexander "stack the deck" concept. I've made them any where from a 7 1/2" block to a 15" block. They are almost like potato chips, can't stop with just one
