We'll be making "Classic Rendition 1 & 2" by Antler Quilt Designs.
I just started on this last night, so I'm only to step 2. The blocks are made with a unique method: First, you sew a lot of 2 1/2" X 10" strips together with a partial seam. (Only sew halfway down the long side.)
Then mark the background squares corner to corner, and again 1/2" away from that mark.
If you have a Quick Quarter tool, it is really easy to make both marks at one time, since the tool is 1/2" wide.
Stitch the background squares onto the sewn strips, then cut halfway between the marks.
The bonus block looks like this:
That's as far as I've sewn -- because it is WIP Wednesday! Linking up!
Come back tomorrow when I announce the Braid In a Day Quilt Along!

Off to find your dots...
I've only done partial seams once before and I didn't enjoy them!!
ReplyDeleteVery nifty - clever little ruler that one! it could almost be a mystery quilt if you didnt know where it was going... great colours.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought you had set up some sordid quilt themed strip club! Hehehe! Looks interesting, I haven't made a block where I had to only sew part the way along.
