What if quilt block – an experiment

This block has so much potential that I have made it before, twice with different colour schemes.

Fabric needs

• Ten 10″ x 1 1/2″ strips in assorted prints or colours
• One 10 inch square piece of coordinated fabric

This tutorial makes 4 HSTs which, arranged in different ways, make different blocks. Each block can make one or more quilt layouts.

For the tutorial I used Michael Miller’s collection Strata and matching Cotton Couture solids from the new solid collection colours.

I hadn’t used Cotton Couture until now, but I quite like the fabric, it’s silkier than other brands of solids I’ve used in the past. And it has a huge range of colours to choose from.

Main square

• Strata Cameo Ink Blot

Strips

• Strata Currant Landslide
• Strata Currant Rag Rug
• Cotton Couture Currant
• Cotton Couture Aubergine
• Cotton Couture Dusty Rose
• Cotton Couture Antique

Each block has 4 pieces and you can put them together in endless ways.

So how did I make this block?

Have a look at a different colour scheme for the same block.
