The following quilt design ideas are the result of playing with the colors of Antique Tile blocks and then with the way the Quarter of Nine blocks from those blocks are combined.

Playing with Quarter of Nine blocks is a bit like magic. You start with something easy to make, like an Antique Tile block, and by making a few simple changes you create something that looks anything but simple and easy. But it is.
Tradition with a twist. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteHi Wayne, definitely on paper this works. What to do for a quilter though? Cutting it into quarters and rejoining means a half inch is lost on the rejoining. Can you computerise what they would look like with these seamed. I’m sure the design would have rectangles instead of squares … and an overall different look. I may be wrong…
ReplyDeleteYou are right for this particular block squares become rectangles when the seams are re-sewn.
DeleteThe illustrations are rather small but if you look closely you should see that I've accounted for that.
If you look at Mix and Match #3 you will find that the points on the Ohio Star have been blunted for that very reason.
