    Fabrics do not always shrink evenly.

    Great idea on all of these quilts. Nine patch snowball would definately work.

    I made a red and white quilt 3 or 4 years ago. It was pinwheels. I donated it to the heart association to auction off.

    I would use the pattern "Tumbling Blocks" with the white for the light, red for the dark, and grey for the medium. There is a new tool on sale at http://www.missouristarquilt.com that makes it so much simpler to make without all of the y- seams. I just ordered the ruler as one of their daily deals and I wish I had it many years ago when I made my first TB.

    Check Ventura Modern Quilt Guild. Magic Triangles-from Scott- 8/20/15. I found this online & printed it. I'm not so much a modern quilt person but this 1 looks interesting.
