Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
The Upside Down 9 Patch Columns is suitable for 4, 5 or 6 fabrics. It uses the same pieces from last week’s block. I simply turned the middle column upside down before I sewed it together. I love doing things like that, because playing like that can make a completely different block.

The Block-a-Long will be on hiatus for awhile. Check back for its reappearance.

Like this 9 Patch? I am pretty happy with the color combination. I love that aqua fabric and wish I had bought more. Oh well. Fortunately there is always more fabric.
As you can see, I have included a large print in this block. This is a demonstration of a large print working in this project.
This block is suitable for 2, 3 or 9 fabrics. Think about the look you are seeking.
Note from the Management: Please comment, letting me know if you would like this project to continue or if you really don’t care. Thanks.
The other day I wrote about the CQFA meeting and the activities in which we participated. I finally processed all the photos. They aren’t great, because there were a lot of people swapping this time. I came into the room late and everyone was ready to go, so I had to be quick about the photography.
I picked the 2d one from the right. I liked the spiral.
I don’t remember who made these, but they were made from oilcloth.
Maureen doesn’t usually make sets. I got one of hers as well: the one in the upper left hand corner.
I would have loved one of Bron’s paper dolls, but they went quickly!
I also missed out on Julie’s. Hers had some plastic covering some loose art materials.
Virginia also made a bunch for the show.
Dolores always does fabulous work. I picked the one shown in the bottom left hand corner. I love her beading.
I was able to choose one of Sue’s as well. The one on the far left now lives at my house. she used a great technique. I wish I could remember the name. She might show us how to do it at an upcoming retreat.
Nobody really liked mine – or else everyone else’s were such high quality that my shaving cream marbling technique was overshadowed. I don’t know. I don’t think mine were crappy.
Note from the Management: Please comment on whether or not you would like to see this project continue and why. Thanks.
Definition: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A representation of one line segment
Three lines — the red and blue lines have the same slope, while the red and green ones have same y-intercept.
In Euclidean geometry, a line is a straight curve. When geometry is used to model the real world, lines are used to represent straight objects with negligible width and height. Lines are an idealization of such objects and have no width or height at all and are usually considered to be infinitely long. Lines are a fundamental concept in some approaches to geometry such as Euclid’s, but in others such as analytic geometry and Tarski’s axioms they enter as derived notions defined in terms of more fundamental primitives such as points.
A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points and contains every point on the line between its end points. Depending on how the line segment is defined, either of the two end points may or may not be part of the line segment. Two or more line segments may have some of the same relationships as lines, such as being parallel, intersecting, or skew.

I had just been to a baseball game when I was ready to do this prompt. Our team is in the top of the NL West, for today, at least. Perhaps this can be considered an homage?
For more information, see the original prompt.
This block, Four Columns, is suitable for 2 or 4 fabrics. When you cut the strips for the pieces, you can cut a full strip as you will use it for future blocks.

This is a slight variation of last week’s block, Four Patch Rectangle. It should be very quick to make. Four Patch Columns Instructions is suitable for two fabrics, though you would have to be creative. Four fabrics is better.
These are 6″ finished blocks.
The directions tell you simply how many pieces of which fabric to cut. The instructions use the fabrics I selected, so you will have to adjust if you are using two fabrics.
Enjoy!

I am trying to relate the blocks together. Hopefully, you will be able to see the relationships as I post them.
The Rectangle Four Patch #2 is also not difficult. This block is suitable for 3 different fabrics.
