How to make 2 beautiful blocks: Arabic lattice and Wild goose chase

Arabic lattice is a pattern you can see all over Morocco. I’ve seen it done often just with squares and triangles mostly. But for this version I’m using a strip instead of two squares.

If you pay close attention you’ll see that the negative design is the same as the main design.

Wild goose chase is a classic and it dates back to the early colonial days according to Nancy Cabot.

Let’s watch the tutorials:
