I decided that before I chop into the fabrics for DS's Surprise Quilt I should give the block I have in mind a trial run. So here it is -
I don't know what it's called - do you? Looks like a kind of double bow-tie, but I can't seem to find a name for it. The calculations for this block weren't too taxing but I wasn't quite sure how to size the little corner triangles. I think it all came out okay, even if it is just a little under 12.5" - well DS isn't going to measure them is he?
So now to take the ruler and rotary cuter to that lovely stack of Snorkel fabric!
BTW - in case you think I'm abandoning the Secret Quilt in favour of this Surprise Quilt - I'm pleased to say that the Secret Quilt has now been quilted and the binding is machine stitched on - I just need some privacy to be able to bring the quilt out and finish the binding by hand.
Fab block, and so well aligned too! No clue what it's called, sorry! Jxo
