    Default Fooling around with a Squedge

    Ever since I started quilting and spotted Phillips Fiber Art website and the designs by Cheryl Phillips, I knew that some day I wanted to see what I could do with the patterns. So I purchased some striped material and had a go and this is what I came up with. Now, these are practice and I have run out of material so not sure what project this will be other than I have satisfied some curiousity and the blocks are very intricate and difficult looking and use strip sets so very easy. I have wonderful diagonally striped fabric and I am contemplating how to make that work, if it will at all. In the meantime, these are some of the blocks as she has a BOM. I have some yet to do, but thought I would share these so far. Oh, a squedge is a wedge with an angled end that when put together correctly makes the block square and measures 16 inches.

    This last one sort of loses the contrast. It is from the same fabric line and obviously coordinates so well that it is hard to tell where the stripe stops and the mottled begins. Do any of you have projects for which you have used a squedge? They come in three sizes as far as I am aware.

    I'd never even heard of this tool but I do like the effects you can acheive with striped fabrics and unusual angles and fussy cutting. Jenny Beyer does some amazing stuff with stripes. Your's are great as well.

    My friend Beth was so taken with your blocks, she sent me the address so I could see them. I am so pleased she did.
