I've been wanting to try the pattern on the cover of this magazine for a while. I knew I wasn't up for a big quilt and thought I'd do a small wall quilt. I changed the block up a bit and used my 45 degree Kaleidoscope ruler to cut the blocks. So far so good.
I did the math. 5 blocks x 5 blocks = 25 blocks. Each block needed 4 green or coral pieces. 25 blocks x 4 pieces per block = 100 pieces. I had 8 fat quarters of each color (coral and green). I divided 8 into 100 and got 12+ pieces from each fat quarter. Do you see my mistake? I should have divided 16 into 100 and cut 6+ pieces from each fat quarter! I have 100 extra pieces.
Here's my little wall quilt. I love how it came out and it was tedious - small is fine!
So I'm playing with my remaining pieces and decided to add some aqua. I've come up with 3 possible configurations for my long, skinny triangles. A kind of elongated zig zag...
Diamonds...
Pyramids...
What would you do? I'm leaning towards the zig zag.
