Another practice block for me. It was a small block that I enlarged each piece to get to 12.5 square. Surprisingly it went together great. In the amall squares you can see where I flipped the orange and used the backside of it. Now that I know my measurements are correct, I plan to cut out a Boom fabric using this pattern LStew Moon, great practice block. I wish I could resize a block like you do. What is the secret? I have an AccuQuilt cutter and took a class for Grids & Conversions. Basically, if it's a 6" block, I increased each component to a corresponding size --- from a 6" Qube cutting to a 12" Qube cutting guide. Confusing ... yes, but it made sense and actually worked. The practice block had 6 columns ... so that meant each column had to be 2.5" to get to 12.5 unfinished size ... from there it was working backwards to get the sizes for each block component. Hope this somewhat makes sense. |

I just took a look at the gallery; Moon's star blocks are eye catching. All of the blocks are stunning. Great job so far.

This is a 6" block that I enlarged and modified. I even changed it up from my "practice" block. I have no idea where the original 6" block came from, it's been sitting in my photo gallery for a long time as inspiration. I was inspired to try to make it a Sunflower for you. |
