I gathered up my fabrics and my ideas book where I had put down some tentative ideas for the guidelines for the blocks.
As I am basing this quilt on real art, I wanted to make sure:
- I had the thickness of the black lines correct
- That I was sending out enough fabric
In order to see if my plan was on the right track, I cut out one set of fabric and then drew out a plan for a block.
Piecing it together was super quick (like crazy quick!) as I pre-cut all of the pieces according to my diagram, and voila...
I love it!
As I want the blocks to be in the style of Mondrian, I am sending them only 3 colours, so that the is a lot of white in the blocks like his art.
For anyone wanting to re-create this type of block, to keep the ratio right, I for a 12" finished block I used 1/2" finished thickness for the black lines.
