Wonderful 1 Fabric Quilt
#1
I saw this book title at a LQS and had to have it. The theory is to use border fabric. You know the ones that look like they are ONLY for use as a border. The you cut on the diagonal and assemble in a way similar to a four patch posie quilt pattern.
I wish I took a photo of the fabric before, but I was too excited to start the new project!! Here's a photo of the blocks laid out. I still have some of the border pieces unsliced, so they will go around the blocks.
Enjoy!

Is each "block" just a cut piece of fabric??

Anyway, you question. Each block is a cut piece reassembled. I've attached a graphic of the layout I did. The repeat on this border was 8 7/8", so after cutting out all the borders, I cut them into exact 8 7/8" squares, then cut as shown in the diagram below, then assembled.
The book is really good. It give different layouts based on your border fabric. I had a two border repeat fabric, meaning a large border then small, then repeat.
Hope this helps!

I'm trying my best not to stretch them has I sew. But I can tell that some blocks will be "friendly" in the center. I didn't prewash the fabric, so the good old "starch and steam" method will be my friend when I quilt it! :P
Sewjoyce: Thanks for the vote of confidence. I do have my cards at several LQS's. One LOVES me and is my champion. At least the machine is paid for, so I don't have to worry about making payments! :D
