Balkan Puzzle
Its fun to take traditional blocks and use them as the inspiration for new blocks. I make what I call Scrambled blocks by putting the units from a traditional block together in new arrangements.
Balkan Puzzle is a traditional block made from 8 units - 4 parallelograms and 4 triangles (flying geese).
What if I color those 8 units like this?
What if I reassemble the units like this?
When I do, this quilt design is the result.
What if I color the units like this?
What if I arrange the units to make this new block?
Then this quilt design is the result.
What if I try these colors?
What if I try this arrangement?
Then this is the result.
What if this is how I color the units?
And what if this is how I arrange them?
I can use the new block made this way to create this quilt design.
There are many more ways than these to scramble the units of a Balkan Puzzle block. You might want to see if you can discover a few.
