Virtual Quilting Bee – April

Cara: this was actually a very easy block to create. I made my own pattern based on a picture I saw in a book. I’ll post more on the construction in another post but the basics (in case I don’t get to that for awhile are that I cut the background square whole (3 1/2″). I then drew a sewing line on the square and stitched on the triangle (a big piece of fabric, just like paper piecing). I trimmed all the extra away after I pressed it flat. There’s no center point to match for each of the 4 blocks. I designed my pattern so the top of the triangle was about 3/8″ in from the edge. It looks like they’re points but they’re really like fake points because there was no piecing precision required.
