Design Wall Monday 11/25/13
I'm designing a quilt for a guild challenge and trying to figure out how to make a certain part of it.
So here's what I have on my design wall as I try to get the right sized blocks assembled:

ReplyDeleteI'm with Sophie! Draft the pattern on graph paper to give you the finished size of the templates! As far as the unit, I can't think of the name of the block but if I do I'll leave you a comment!
ReplyDeleteOrphan blocks are great, right? I mean maybe not at the time... Don't know a name for this one
ReplyDeleteFun design work going. I usually end up with several orphans when I'm working something out for myself. Even when I pre-draw things and reverse engineer. ;D heh!
