Herringbone Block Tutorial

Extraherringboneshot-1.jpg

I was so thrilled to participate in the Designer Challenge in the new issue of Fat Quarterly!The Designer Challenge asks a handful of bloggers to create a block using specific design elements and/or fabric requirements. I'm always amazed at the different interpretations people come up with. This issue's challenge was to create a block using charm squares.This herringbone block was what I came up with. It uses charm squares and an easy piecing method to create a unique spin on zig zags or string blocks. A complete tutorial for making the block can be found in Issue 5.Fat Quarterly is hands-down my favorite quilting publication—I've been a subscriber since day one. So how fun for my block to be in it this month, alongside all the other fabulous blocks. Issue 5 is all about pre-cuts, and it's full of great patterns, so if you haven't checked it out yet, please do!
