Blocks

Unnamed

The other day (27 November 2010) I used this simple block as the basis of a tessellation. Today I want to try using it differently.

What if I combine this block with a reflected version of itself?

What if I add 3 more blocks and make a cross?

What if I combine 4 crosses rotated?

What if, in each corner, I place a ribbon made from 4 blocks?

I like the ribbon. What if I use it as a design unit?

 What if I combine 4 ribbon units rotated?

What if I use a pinwheel to connect the O's in the center?

I have a motif that I can repeat.

What if I repeat the motif and add some color?

What if I cap the open ends of the motifs?

I think this quilt top presents plenty of opportunity for some interesting quilting.
