Quiltmaker Block #477

QUOTE FROM MY FRIDGE:

Well behaved women seldom make history.

I found this block much easier to make than the first three.  I have been seriously quilting for 25 years but I have never used small pieces unless they were strip pieced into a block.  Since I am one of the “designers” I am working ahead.  My piecing has definitely improved.  Being a few threads off in large blocks is not a problem.  With these 6″ blocks a few threads can make a huge difference.

I must confess the photo of the block above was edited.  Those very straight edges are not due to my advanced piecing skills.

I love the very scrappy original block but with the solids I am using I decided to go with only three colors.
