This Clever Block Has a Lot of Movement
Change the Look Through Color and Value Placement!
This intriguing block was shared as part of the Aurifil 2016 Designer of the Month program. The clever design can be given different effects depending on color and value placement.
It will be wonderful in a quilt and can provide a lot of movement. Butt the blocks together or add a narrow sashing between them. The block is also great in any color theme.
