Week 46 - Spools Block
Hi there - this weeks block is a traditional well know block - the Spools Block. I love the way you can make your blocks to look traditional or modern just by the fabrics that you use.
I have kept with my two colour options - 6” block in reds and 12” blocks in blues. I would also make this block in brighter colours and made the “thread” part in colours that reflect the threads that you sew with.
We have used half square triangles (yes, more blimmin half square triangles haha) but do a wee google search so check other options.
Here are a few quilts and project to give you some ideas on what you can do with this block. As with most of our blocks, there are multiple ways you can made this block. Click on the image or details on each project.
A stunning table runner
Have a fantastic week and I will see you back here next Wednesday. Take care, Christine
