I am sharing a tutorial for this block, aptly called Enigma, on the Sizzix blog today. It's made using three dies that many quilters who own a Sizzix diecutter probably already have in their collection because they are standard shapes: a quarter square triangle, a half square triangle and a parallelogram.
I will walk you through the block one step at a time with pictures.
I cut into some new fabrics from Sew Me A Song for this block. I used Alphabet Song Color 100 from First of Infinity by Kumiko Fujita and Sewing in Grey from the Live Life Collection for Yuwa of Japan. I combined them with older Curio prints from BasicGrey.
I'm loving this block and thinking of a little series perhaps of blocks made with these dies for a sampler of sorts. Any interest?
Cool effect! I never think to play with tessellating shapes like this
ReplyDeleteGreat block Amy! The mock up quilt has a 3-D effect that is very interesting. This would make a great quilt for a guy.
ReplyDeleteLove this block! So unigue and interesting. Your balanced use of color and unusual prints is good. BTW -- I bought your Ruched Happy Bag pattern and have enjoyed using it to make gifts for friends. It's a great basic pattern and your directions were the best. Love seeing all your new ideas.
ReplyDeleteOops -- unique!
ReplyDeleteCool block! I think I could figure it out sans sizzix?
ReplyDeleteLove this block. I have the accuquilt and could use that for it. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOoh, I LOVE that Sewing in Grey fabric! Yes, a series would be nice even though I don't have the Sizzix.
ReplyDeleteI love your block! I would love to try to join in if you do a quilt along!
