I thought I'd add blocks with BLUE as the diagonal - I like it! Maybe I'll alternate the blocks - not sure yet but so far, it looks good to me.
At first I found this pattern tedious until I had a duhhhh moment, and practiced webbing the block. Wow - who knew it would increase efficiency and decrease hand movements so dramatically? Of course, webbing is easier with a 9-patch than with a 36-patch but so far, so good. (note to myself ... Why do some clever techniques take me so long to adopt?) Mom always said I was stubborn.
And I noticed the inspirerer (is that a word?) of this piece, Ms. Bonnie, (Quiltville.com) has a new project, with what appears to be the same units.
And I DID manage to finish a challenge R x R block - I hope Jacci likes it! Nopers, no photo. All of them will be revealed at next Guild meeting - I cannot imagine what mine looks like. This has been fun, a stretch to our imagination and skills.
What do you mean by webbing? A term I am not familiar with.
ReplyDeleteI like having different colors! But what is webbing? I don't think I've ever heard the term.
ReplyDeleteDitto. That's a new term to me. Regardless, I love the blocks!
ReplyDeleteI guess we are all puzzled. Do you get spiders to help you?
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks!!!
ReplyDeleteNext post, I'll describe and post photos of "webbing".

Oh so fun and scrappy! I wonder how many versions of the split 9-patch block there are? This one is new to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm finally catching up on blogs. Love your posts Elaine.
