I have a confession (it’s not about how I’m not good at keeping to a quiltalong schedule, we all know that already). If you’ve seen our quilts over the years, you may have noticed that we have a secret love of woven fabrics. We’ve snuck them in here and there in our quilts but we needed to bring some more into Made and Found.
Because this is essentially a block on point with pieced setting triangles, directional fabrics are going to go every which way. You can either embrace the multiple directions or let them freak you out. I chose to emphasize it even further with stripes, because why not?! The Mariner’s Cloth and Kaleidoscope woven from Alison Glass looked really pretty with the Picasso print from Oracle.
I didn’t have any changes with cutting instructions but my recommendation for this block is to try and be accurate and use a starch or starch alternative like Best Press. All of the bias edges from the triangles is towards the center, but without starch it’s easy to stretch them out and get a wavy edge on your block. So don’t be afraid to use it!
