From the nine lengths of batik (12" wide) I cut off 8 inches, leaving the remaining 4 inches for later. Then I cut 5 squares from the 8" strips. Those then were cut in half on the diagonal. Because the batik is good on both sides, one triangle could be flipped over to make the mitered square.
And then I forgot about the mitering idea and just did chevrons. Although better, I am still not convinced that this will be the final layout.
The first layout looks very attic window. Will these fabrics be in a kit for your class?
ReplyDeleteThe chevron design is stunning ... so happy you are sharing your process with us. I learn so much from your blog!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is so wonderful about your blocks here is that they have many ways to be arranged!
ReplyDeleteBatiks are so color luscious and your good designs shows them versatile! I would love to be in the class when student begin to arrange their blocks!!
Actually this is only a Quilt as you go DEMO, the students will not be sewing or arranging blocks, or anything fun like that. Just discovering how to assemble a quilt and quilt it in sections.
ReplyDeleteI love the depth in the blocks and the colors!
ReplyDeleteLove the horizontal layout!! Gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the blocks laid out in diagonal stripes. I think it would like great that way.
