Scrambled Block #6

Flying Shuttles



























To create this quilt design I started with a Flying Shuttles block which I broke down into the 9 units that go together to make it.

Scrambled Block #5

Clay's Choice


























If you're looking for design inspiration, you might want to try starting with a traditional block and scrambling the units to make new blocks.


Clay's Choice is a traditional block that is constructed from eight units.

Scrambled Block #4

Friendship Star



























I look at this quilt design and I find it hard to believe that it started with a Friendship Star block. But it did.

Scrambled Block #3

Card Trick



























This quilt design doesn't look like it was made using a Card Trick block. It wasn't. Instead, I took the units that go together to make a Card Trick block recolored them, scrambled them, and put them together to make a new block.This quilt design was made using that new block.

Scrambled Block #2

Balkan Puzzle





















Its fun to take traditional blocks and use them as the inspiration for new blocks. I make what I call Scrambled blocks by putting the units from a traditional block together in new arrangements.

Scrambled Block #1

Jacob's Ladder


























On occasion my mind wanders and I put a block together wrong. It occurs to me that this doesn't have to be a bad thing. What if I were to intentionally mix up the units for a block and make a new block? I can call them scrambled blocks.
