    Interesting block. It would make a great masculine quilt if done in guy colours.

    Looks like I'll have to play around with another block. Taking my play "arounds" and maybe turn into a crazy sampler.?

    I'm adapting the block to fit Go dies. I rarely cut fabric shapes with a rotary cutter if I don't have to.

    I'm going to try this way of doing the block. Thanks for sharing.

    Wish they would have shown a full quilt with that block to see the actually movement....also, were there dimensions mentioned anywhere on that video.....or just lots of talking......just like the newer episodes...tell you to go to website for info...go there ...have to buy the mag to get the measurements......not crazy about "new" F&P

    Only measurement I heard was the 18" finished size, so each of the 4 would be 9" Will have to try and draw on graph paper, this is when i wish I had EQ7.

    I also was curious to see how the blocks would look put together. I like to use construction paper to do a mock up. My construction paper rectangles were 1 inch by 2 inch and the squares were 1X1 cut in half for the triangles. I think the pattern gets kind of lost when the are put next to each other but it would still make a nice graphic quilt done in 2 colours. This is 4 of my construction paper blocks sitting together.

    Would never have thought of cutting a quilt design out of construction paper. Great job Tartan!!
