Patched Works 100 Blocks of Summer–Block 39

Block of the day: #39

Section: Triangles

Featured Quilter:  Susie

Susie says:  So many choices for my 3-1/2” square.  How do you like my bright happy butterflies?

This block uses Tula Pink’s Cutting Corners technique found on page 85.  If you don’t like drawing all the lines and don’t trust yourself to eyeball, I like to use a product called Clearly Perfect Angles. 

Additional blocks made by:  Jen,  Mary & Lisa

  

Mary says:  For this block, I originally fussy cut a light center for the "box" but when I previewed it with the rest of the fabrics, the box didn't look 3-D anymore.  My suggestion, then, is to follow the same values as Tula did for this block to be successful.

Jen says:  I think my navy & orange center was a little too severe!!
