This is a block that makes you thing “Haven’t I seen this before?” Yes, I have. But I have never made it this small.
Challenges:
- The stretchy bias edges of the triangles made this a real challenge to match points.
Successes:
- I noticed that I had cut a piece that had those tiny holes from the selvage. But I was able to deconstruct the piece, cut a new triangle, and set it in before I put together the full block.
- I like the “log cabin” setting of the four borders: one 4″ strip, two 4.5″ strips, and then one 5″ strip. Had I been thinking ahead, I could have just cut one long strip, and trimmed each as I sewed.
