I’ve printed out the Block Design sheets (use the hyperlink within the e-book, see web page 16 within the e-book, beneath Block Building heading.
Utilizing the crayon coloured web page proven within the earlier submit…I transferred all the Material Palette colour references (ALPHA) to every web page (block) of design sheets. Right here in Block #1 you may see (above) that I can be utilizing the materials A, Ok, H, and B for this block development.
My subsequent preparation process is to take my Basis Material and minimize out a rectangle massive sufficient to carry the TRIANGLE block dimension. For me, I minimize up some cotton in a lightweight colour…27 blocks…measuring about 6 1/2″ x 10 1/2″ to carry the total block dimensions. Now, I’ll use my gentle field to hint every block diagram utilizing a #2 lead pencil. I’ll hint the within and outdoors form strains strains (1 strong, 1 purple dot) on to the material. Then, I’ll hint the purple dashed strains that mark the Material Seam Line (see the place the pencil level above it indicating) on to the muse cloth block define.
These strains will enable you to put your cloth; and may present a stitching line so that you can “flip’n’sew” your block”. You need to use particular person sample items for those who minimize your printed pages alongside the seam strains (proven within the e-book). Or, you should use the drawn strains and huge stripes of material (I will be reducing one strip of 4.5 inchs huge from every cloth) to extra shortly piece these blocks. The place an space is bigger than 4.5″, I must minimize a brand new piece of material to cowl. The place an space is lower than 4.5″…nicely, I’ll have wasted some cloth in favor of quickness.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event you select to hint the block define as described above…keep in mind to flip-over the sample web page so that you’re copying the REVERSE of the block design since you may be working from the again of the muse cloth to piece the block on it is entrance.
Block #1 – Right here you will note that I’ve flipped the paper web page over on my gentle desk. I traced (utilizing a ruler) the strong black TRIANGLE form and essentially the most outer (purple dashed line) triangle form. Then I’ve added the within seam strains (purple dashed strains).
Here’s what the traced strains appear like, after I’ve turned off the sunshine field. I may even add the “Letter” of the material piece to every patch to assist me keep in mind…and hopefully, velocity up the addition of the colour cloth patches to the entrance of this Basis Material. Bear in mind than the pencil strains are on the again aspect…which is why I reversed the paper web page sample on my gentle field.
