Yesterday I also got frustrated.
The few blue triangles I had cut out
kept falling off the wall as I moved them around.
And I didn't have enough of one color to make "cards"
and keep track of what I was trying to accomplish.
So I cut out 4 squares of paper for the 4 cards.
Then on each piece I made one slit half way down to the center.
I started at the middle of 1 side & stopped in the middle of the square.
This allowed me to fold under the hidden quarter for all the cards.
(It's easier for me to see the block as a "whole"
rather than a bunch of triangles.)
What I am working on above is distortion ...
the square cards are now rectangles.
I posted about how I made this block on my blog yesterday. Looks like adding rectangles on point would be great too!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to some time to play with these over the next few days. I am so happy to be learning from everyone else! Sometimes it is good not to be first.
ReplyDeletewow! Fabulous idea.
ReplyDeleteglen: still looking for time to sit and sew......maybe this weekend, hospice called a meeting about mom today.
It's fun to see how people interpret this challenge.. I have a couple thoughts to try, if I can get through making another block! Hege! Good idea to work it out with paper!
