So Scrappy and The Academic Quilter are co-hosting the RSC18 Squared Away Sampler project. September’s block is the Queen Charlotte’s Crown quilt block.
This block is easily drawn with a 5 x 5 grid.
I found this block difficult to visualize, so I decided to play with it. I haven’t used any alternative blocks in any of the following designs, nor have I played a lot with value, so there is room for plenty more creativity!
Here is the block set side by side in a straight set:
I think I like this block after all!
Here is how it looks set with sashing:
Still a straight set, but rotating alternate blocks:
Moving value around:

The ‘lattice’ really shows up in this layout; it would be fun to play more with the value.

By the time I finished playing, I had enough designs for a couple of blog posts. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted my project file.
Oops.
