In yesterday’s post, I showed the Country Roads Quilt Block in straight set quilt designs.
Today, let’s look at the block set on point.
Here it is set side by side and on point:
The next sets are also on point, but the Country Roads block has been set with simplified versions of it as well.
I think my border choice needs work, but that is just personal preference (as are many, if not most, aspects of art).
I played a little bit with the Country Road Quilt Block:
I drew the block with a 7 x 7 grid.
It is a terrific chain block! Here is Country Roads set side by side in a straight set:
Rather than look for alternate blocks to pair with it, I experimented with deleting some of the lines in the block to create an alternate block.
The following quilt designs are all created from the Country Roads block and simple variations of it. All are straight sets.
I am sure that there are lots and lots of variations to this block. Take some time to play and see what you can come up with!
Happy quilting!
In a previous post, I shared the Brave World quilt block in several straight set designs.
Here is how it looks set side by side and on point:
Let’s try sashing and a different colorway:
I like it better!
When I remove some lines from the original block, I am left with a pinwheel block that I can use as an alternate with the Brave World block.
Keep playing the ‘what if’ game! You may get some dud designs, but, then again, you may be pleasantly surprised with what you come up with!
