This Simple Block Makes a Beautiful Quilt
Play with Colors and Values to Make It Your Own!
This quilt block is beautiful in its simplicity. Color and value contrasts create a design that will become increasingly complex as blocks are combined.
For an even more striking design, choose stronger contrasts, whether in color, value, or both. While we love the softness of the low-contrast example, stronger contrasts will create an eye-catching quilt.
The block is simple to make, so you can have several made quickly. It’s a great block for those times when you just want to sit and sew without having to think about it too much.
We played with Photoshop a bit to see how the block could look in a quilt, both with and without sashing. Either option will make a beautiful quilt.
