quilt guild challenge - need some advice
#1
Every year our guild hosts a challenge night . This year is really taxing my brain :-( the challenge is to use one block - but in 3 different sizes on the item. It can be a table runner, quilt, whatever. Being fairly new to quilting I am really stumped. I thought of doing some sort of disappearing nine patch but not sure if that would work in three different sizes or not. Any ideas? (I hope no one that is our guild is reading this cuz I don't want to be accused of cheating !) i will make the quilt or whatever I just need an idea. Keep in mind I need it to be kinda simple! Thanks!

I was thinking 'stars'--the Ohio kind. Think of multiples. 4",8", 12" Now, take the 12" as your center. Then take the 8" as your corners. Then take 2 row of 3 - 4" stars as your sides. Table topper.

I have a book called Pattern on Pattern by Ruth McDowell. If you can find a copy check out the amazing ways she combines blocks so that you have large copies of a design holding smaller copies of the same design.

I have been on a pinwheel kick lately and they are really easy, they can be done in multiple sizes and as along as you iron the seams open they lay flat and pm if you need help doing them from squares....Fast process too!!
