My Scrappy Split Nine-Patch is assembled, quilted and trimmed. I just need now to bind it and it will be done. Later this week I hope. On my design wall is a new scrappy block for me. It is a block from a quilt in Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting, May/June, 2011. It's called tic tac toe by Toby Lischko. I like the quilt but am really taken with the "O" block. So I decided to make it into a scrappy block and see what it was like that way. Seems so Moorish to me.
I really, really like the center of this block and may rework another so that instead of building the block as shown in the magazine - somehow I'll do it in row fashion so that I can use a large center block instead of a 4-patch. Then again I may need to study my scraps better and pick out more of them that fall better into the dark, medium, light categories. Like that one with the birdhouses, now that I see it in the block looks too dark, should have been another medium like the green almost solid. This may be a scrap block where you have to have bigger pieces to make it work. We'll see.
