Test blocks -

Before I went too far -

I thought I should make a couple of test blocks -

With the VALUES - LIGHTS/DARKS - being "relative" -

Depending on what I put next to them - ;))

Here's #1 -

DARK Center - LIGHT Round 1 - DARK Round 2 -

Here's #2 -

LIGHT Center - DARK Round 1 - LIGHT Round 2 -

I didn't cut them into quarters -

But folded one in half and put it on top of the other one -

To give me a general idea of what two "half-blocks" would be like -

And it looks like it will work -

I'm not sure if I like this method better or not -

It doesn't seem to be any faster -

And the cutting is more fiddly -

But that's because I'm trying to adapt it to charms squares and strips -

One thing that does NOT help -

Is the PINKED edges on these pre-cuts -

They mess up the accuracy of my cutting AND my piecing -

So it's not going to be perfect -

No matter how hard I try -

The seams probably won't match very well -

But the colors are still pretty - LOL -

So I'll just keep on keepin' on -

And cut the rest of the sets tomorrow -

Unless I change my mind before then -

And decide to make something less fiddly - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
