Block Bender sketches (drose)
#12
Thanks for your thoughts MTS - my initial thought before I got the book was to PP but I'd only do that if I was going really tiny. The swatch will work - I tried it on scraps - you line up the diagonally opposite corners on the seam line and cut a right angle, then turn the square ruler and cut the rectangle the size you want. This to me is more straightforward than individually cutting all the triangles where you'll have at least one bias edge anyway. I'm not really bothered about bias - when I make my One Block Wonders I'm working on the bias all the time, I've learned to be gentle! The only downside I see is that I won't get all my individual fabric pieces to play with on the wall - I'll have to make choices by rectangle block. :-D

My Mum picked a paper pieced star pattern and I am bored to tears, I don't like having to make 30 blocks of the same pattern :cry:
His birthday is in April and I am about 1/2 way through, I am determined to finish it and never do another like it again LOL

Your sketches are fabulous! And what a challenge! I'm going to have to find that book...I am fascinated by that process. I drew something similar a few years ago and tried to sew it...major fail! But I'm going to try again.

My first thought on seeing your sketches was it reminds me of me playing on EQ. It is similar to my process of thinking when designing. I have seen a couple of people on Simply Quilts who played with similar ideas. I love the effects you created! It will be wonderful to see your finished piece!
*I was excited that I inspired you to think cut down on this!* LOL Mix and max methods is a great way to ge4t it done!! I love all the possibilities that exist in this kind of designing!! So infinite!
Looking forward to this next Masterpiece!!
