S.N.O.W. Day... "Project 1"

I'm using the 7.1/2 inch "X" BLOCK  ruler/template by Quilt Queen.
I cut 3 @ 3.3/4 inch fabric strips for the blocks with 1 x centre I SPY  block...

After piecing them into a 9 patch block... I used the ruler & lined up the solid lines on the seams & cut the block. There are 3 different lines to choose from which gives 3 different looks.

 Fabric placement also changes the look of the finished block/quilt design.
AND you use all cut off pieces too. They make a great border OR another block...

Once cut... you can turn the blocks various ways... & I like #2 for a border...

I made 4 blocks using the same fabric BUT with different I SPY centres.
I reversed the X Block for 2 of the blocks so I could make my chosen design.

I think the layout below would make a really great table runner... 
& you could use up the off cuts in the borders as well... NO waste...

I LIKE this ruler 👍 & will use it again for sure.
I'll either follow the included layout OR add a border to each 4 block section😏.
This will eventually be a charity quilt for a child.
I hope you EnJoYeD the first S.N.O.W. day...

    So nice. What I really love is that you can use the cut offs. I hate to throw anything away, and actually never do it.

    That's cool! I'd seen quilts that looked like the block you made but had no idea they were relatively simple to do.

    What a great idea to use an eye spy block in the centre. It will be a very effective quilt.

    It is a great block. Even better you are able to use the offcuts

    So clever and I love the idea of a S.N.O.W. day ... I have a feeling I have an X block ruler somewhere.
