Shadowplay pattern...
 

Has anyone made the "Shadowplay" pattern by Laura Blanchard? Its a tumbling block type design and says its done using 'square in a square' technique. Looks really nice. but wondering how it makes up? Don't understand from the picture how S in a S would work.

Thanks!!:confused:

Janice Jamison developed an easy way to cut and sew square in a square - I believe that the square in a square come from Maxine Rosenthal & Joy Pelzmann's "One Block Wonder encore!" book. Look up both Janice and the book on the web.

Thanks Janice - I understand square in a square, but don't see how it can be adapted from this pattern - I'll go look it up though!

Oops, I meant thanks Petey! :o

This might help you envision it. It's all in how you color the square in a square blocks, and then you line them up so that one block's edge is at the middle of the block above.

Oops - bitmap didn't work - trying again.

Thanks, dunster! Wow, with all the matching of intersection, etc, think I'd just settle for "Y" seams!!

I agree. I never thought that square in a square was that easy to make anyway.

This is great thanks!!!

Thanks! I almost bought that pattern. You saved me!
