Another "why didn't I think of that Sooner?"

One if my favorite block patterns is "Folded Corners". I've made a few of them and only for this last one I had a great thought! If its folded corners why not take fabric and Fold the Corners? (use both side of it!) Duh!!

Your block looks great...I’ve used the wrong side of fabric on several occasions...I got the idea here on the QB.

Ellen, Folded Corners is a quilt block that is widely available. As you can see, the dark fabric look as if the corners are folder forward over the square frame of light fabric. The pattern uses HSTs and Flying Geese.

Just google "Folded Corners" quilt block for many sites (free) that show how to make it.
