No, Givio, I didn't change it. I saw that some did and those look pretty too. But what I saw in this block was a diagonal "Irish Chain" running through the block. I liked it, but I think my light blue should have been a very bold dark blue to really pull it off. The example in the book is the best one I've seen to really show off that diagonal.
It was fun and I like the prints, but I consider it a bit of a failure as to carrying out the design. |
Yes, yes, that is what I thought on second thought, that you had used the book pattern and I had changed it. I was too lazy to go upstairs to examine the book and just posted my comment without looking. Now that you mention the diagonal look, I wonder if this pattern would be a nice one to use repeatedly on a whole quilt...

Someone at my quilting group brought in one of these blocks that was 12.5". Her daughter made it and set the printer to 200%. It was beautiful and if I was going to do a quilt of all one block, I think I might try making bigger blocks too. Wonder what you'd get setting the printer at 150%... about a 9" block? |
That particular block would be easy to draft. It's based on an 8 grid. Cut strips, and make it the size you like. You could do squares, rectangles, and flying geese, or do HSTs for the triangle parts.

Sewbiz, I like your blue in the April block..There's no predictability in the way the blue print moves, just like the month of April..:)
