I was planning to do something else with different fabric when these two batiks caught my eye. This pattern was in my "saved to try" list and used - that's right! two contrasting fabrics.
Silly impatient guy that I am, I didn't take any process photos. But here is the completed block.
I will warn you that the corner pieces are mirror images and if you pick up the wrong one and sew it, you will get to use your seam ripper. Yes, I made that mistake, so I am trying to let YOU learn from my mistake.
Now I know you are thinking "where can I get the pattern?" Okay, here is the link to the pattern for Anita's Arrowhead. The Anita is Anita Grossman Solomon.
Also if you want to make different sizes, here is a link to a file that Anita posted with alternate sizes.
And here are some layouts I did in Electric Quilt

I always am amazed how different layouts with the same block turn out-I am loving that last one the best-loved your color choice too on your block
ReplyDeleteI like that block and love those batiks! Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous block! May have to try it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat block has a lot of potential.
ReplyDeleteShoot! I was going to play with some more "Crumb" blocks today - but now I want to make one of these instead. And people wonder why I have so many UFOs - haha - ;))
ReplyDeleteI just finished my block!! SO easy!! - Thanks, Anita, Linda, and Gene!! - ;))
ReplyDeleteOOOOH looking very good with this block, Gene! Love the EQ layouts you have shown as well. Lois sashed hers to sort of contain them a bit and control the bias, I believe she said. I'm going to have to try this some day. Actually I have a layer cake that I got for Christmas some time ago that might make a good block. It takes 10 inch squares, right?? I see our pal alefthanded quilter tried this out too!
ReplyDeletewow...so many ways
