I'm not a huge fan of small quilt blocks with tiny pieces, but in the spirit of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I've been playing along with the Tiny Tuesday blocks published each week. My scrappy green results this month were mixed.
Multiply is the clever Tiny Tuesday block from Jo at ButterZ. The smallest pieces start at 1 1/4 inches before sewing, and the resulting 4-patch gets trimmed to 1 5/8 inches. My fingers struggled with that a little!
We also did a wonky Log Cabin block. My light greens didn't all have the same level of lightness, but, I got 'er done. I did get to fussy-cut the cute ladybug in the center!
Sally Trude offered one of her great flip triangle owls for another Tuesday block. I have to confess, I punted on Sally's block. I suck at doing flip triangles. So I did an appliqué owl instead. I did find some large dot fabric so my owl could have googly eyes, though.
The last Tiny Tuesday project didn't get posted on Tuesday, so I went looking for something on my own. When I saw this block at Generations Quilt Patterns, it reminded me of a Burgoyne Surrounded block so I knew I had to make it! The 9-patch sections get made by strip-piecing, so the block is not too fiddly. I also switched the color/fabric orientation so it seemed a little more Burgoyne-like. What name would you give this version of the block? Un petit Burgoyne? Faux-goyne?
