How to put these blocks together
I've just made several of these no waste Granny Squares
http://sewhappygeek.co.uk/index.php/...-quilt-blocks/ but I don't understand how to sew them together into a quilt. Any tips. |
You could put some sashing in between each block. Depending on how big you want it.
|
I think I would just sew the blocks together without sashing for a quilt top. The triangles joined up will make a secondary kind of single Irish Chain design between the coloured squares.
|
Either of the above two suggestions would work. Why not play around with your blocks and see which you like best.
|
If you're having problems with the "on point" setting, or figuring the side triangles, look for a really good tutorial on this. I know Jenny Doan from Missouri Quits has one on You Tube.
|
just be sure that there is at least 1/4" beyond the GS block... otherwise you will lose your points
|
you can sash with black or whatever your outer triangle color is and the blocks will float. here is an example I made, sashing with white, my outer triangle color:

I think it would be beautiful wlith or without sashing.

DebraK, yours is so pretty! I like the controlled colors better than scrappy, I think.
