This is where I am at now in my quilting. I volunteered to create a pattern for 10" squares for my quilt guild. When I thought about it, I wanted to find a pattern where the would be no waste. I came upon the idea of using a Birds in the Air pattern. Since I have no layer cakes in the house, I took a rotary cutter to my Kaffe Fassett stash, and cut 42 10" squares. My stash never even felt a dent!
Here I show how I laid out the 42 completed blocks in 5 different orientations. My carefully sorting the fabrics from dark to light, and then grouping them, the strong diagonal lines in each block lent themselves to a variety of layouts.
Which is your favorite? I'll tell you which I chose in my next block, along with how to make each block.
