Swirls -

 

 

Can go to the left or to the right - 

 

Or not at all - like mine - LOL - ;))

 

I showed you these two yesterday - 

 

And said they were both wrong - 

 

Then I got some comments about them swirling one way or the other - 

 

So - I decided to do a little comparison post - 

 

First - I left the one on the LEFT alone -

And folded some HST on top of the other one for a swirl to the RIGHT - 

Or Clockwise -

 

The top PRINT in the 4-patch flows to the QST on the TOP - 

And then to the TOP RIGHT corner HST - 

In my block - on the left - the QST are in the right spots - 

But the HST prints/whites are in the wrong corners - 

 

Second - I left the one on the LEFT alone - again -

And folded some HST on top of the other one for a swirl to the LEFT - 

Or Counter-clockwise - 

 

The top WHITE patch in the 4-patch flows to the QST on the TOP -

(I had to fold a white one on top of the other one to show the effect)

And then to the TOP LEFT corner HST - 

In my block - on the left -

Not only are the HST prints/whites in the wrong corners - 

The QST are on the wrong sides -  

 

So - yeah - they can swirl to the LEFT or to the RIGHT - 

 

Depending on which way you want them to go - 

 

But either way -

 

The PRINT in the 4-patches should touch a WHITE HST corner -  

But in my blocks they don't - they touch another PRINT HST corner -

 

And don't seem to swirl at all - 

 

They start to go one way - 

 

And then seem to fall back on themselves - 

 

So maybe I made up a new block -

 

And they will look just fine - 

 

As long as they all look alike - LOL - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
