If You Change Something Old,

You Get Something New

Yesterday I added an outside design to blocks with 3x3 grids and got new blocks with 5x5 grids.

SaraJoan liked the idea but used a block with a 4x4 grid and got new blocks with 6x6 grids. She also put borders (which I like) on her ideas to make them quilts. To see what she came up with go to Iridescent weasels and other beasties.

Borders

On Point Oh Susannah

I've been fiddling with this since 10 November 2010. I like the central motif but I'm still looking for a border that will set it off.

I'm still looking for some way to finish this image. I want to do something besides just adding plain borders.

I want to take another stab at finding a border for this design. My last stab was 2 days ago.

This quilt top design, from my 10 November 2010 post, could use a better border treatment.

I'm going to start with this Oh Susannah block on-point and see what kind of quilt top I can design.

Oh Susannah

This quilt top design is from my 27 December 2009 post.

I think it's time I decided how to quilt it.

Playing with Blocks

Wonky Oh Susannah

Like most blocks Oh Susannah is constructed on a regular grid.

What if I change the grid so that it is part of the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...?

I get a wonky Oh Susannah block.

These three blocks were used to make this quilt top.  It's time to give it a border.

This quilt was designed using an Oh Susannah block.







I designed quilting for it once before.  I think it would be fun to see if I can come up with a different design.

Oh Susannah Quilt  (See also: 26 December 2009)

This quilt motif was designed using an Oh Susannah block that has been combined with other blocks. 

I need to find it a border.

Oh Susannah

Oh Susannah blocks are based on this outline pattern.


What if I use the outline pattern but lose some of the symmetry by coloring the block like this.

This is definitely not a traditional Oh Susannah block.

This quilt motif was designed using an augmented Oh Susannah block.

It needs a border.

Oh Susannah

The Oh Susannah block is symmetrical. As a result I can divide it into 4 identical units.

What if I re-assemble those units so that they all point the same way? I have a new block.

What if I play with those units and re-assemble them into 3 new blocks?

What if I start with the simplest of Oh Susannah blocks but use both it and its mirror image?
