The most fun to make is a pattern by Nancy Zieman that is no longer available in print. It is so simple and fun to do. Use as many different fabrics as you want. She uses 13.
Cut strips 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 inchs wide.
Then you cut and combine the different size cuts so that you end up with a 6 1/2 in block. Combine 4 to make a large block.
For instance use a 4 1/2 with a 2 1/2 both cut at a 6 1/2 in lenght. You have a 6 1/2 in block. Finished blocks are 6 in.
There are so many combos to form a 6 1/2 in block. 5 1/2 plus 1 1/2.
Three 2 1/2 make one. Two 3 1/2 and so on.
Makes a beautiful quilt.
Her video is on qnntv but you have to pay 24 bucks a year for membership now. It used to be free till Fons and Porter bought the website.
