This project has been on the back burner for several months. Yard work, housework and other projects have taken priority in my life of late, but I do want to get this top to the LAQ by sometime this year, so I need to put some time in on it.
The next block is another of the 12 x 12 inch blocks; it takes 16 half square triangles arranged in diamond and 'flying geese' units.
I debated taking apart one or more of the old blocks that are on a 16 patch grid, but ended up making it from new cuts.
I was disappointed with my points on this block. There's a lot of bulk in the seams and they didn't come together as nicely as I had hoped.
I think if I were to do an entire quilt with this block, that I would do oversized flying geese units with either 'stitch and flip' corners or paper piece them, which would eliminate half of the seams.
