10-Minute Block - Opinions Please
#12
Yes, Diane007. I started out with 10" squares and now have them at 6", but kept the focus block at 10". I like it much better now! The photos are of the 6" blocks. I was thinking I'd get this done really quickly by using the larger blocks, but bigger isn't always better! lol

I've seen some posts where people have had trouble with puckers when sewing the last seam with the focus block in it, but haven't run into that problem myself. I found that if I just push the inside of the focus block down, then pin the center seam, then put my finger into the fold of the focus block to position it, the rest of the block stays out of the way nicely.

I must agree with the majority - This quilt hits a home run!!!!!! I think once all the blocks are combined the baseball diamond effect will fade away. I like the look of # 1, but that calls for some fancy quilting IMHO. If you are planning on doing QAYG, I'd go for # 3 since your eye will accept the quilting lines not matching up with the alternating blocks.
