This Scrappy Block Has So Many Design Options

It’s Great in More Limited Color Themes, Too!
This charming block is perfect for scraps and has so many design options. Its scrappy look is very appealing but also consider a more limited color palette.
Start with 1 1/2″ and 2 1/2″ squares. Make a few blocks and then play with layouts. Turn the blocks to create different effects.
We played a bit in Photoshop to create some examples. The first one, made with four blocks, would make a lovely wall or table mat (about 16 1/2″ square).
Or create an interesting stripe.
Here’s one idea for 16 blocks (about 32 1/2″ finished size). There are many other layout options as well.
The finished block, designed by Lori Holt from Bee in My Bonnet, is 8″ square.
