On-point settings w/ a focus block??
Hello quilty friends! I'm about half done with making so far, over 50 nine-patch blocks to become a part of a christmas quilt for my 2 grandsons (and family).. some of the blocks have a fussy-cut center.. some others have directional prints also like cmas trees.. i have looked for lay-out inspiration and really love the blocks on-point or possible a double nine lay-out (also on point).
Would this be a mistake w/ those directional prints and the fussy cut centers of santa and cmas "scenes".. ? They would be tilted if set on-point. I'm on the fence if that would matter as this is kind of a controlled scrappy i guess. At the same time, they are featured elements of some (not all) blocks. Could you tell me what you would do here? Open to possibly snow-balling alternate blocks for a straight-setting also.. just not sure if corners should be scrappy or what.
ah well.. i'll soon be buying background fabrics for alternate squares..much depends on which layout I wind up going with!
Thanks to all for your input!
