X Block Blog Hop – Venetian Tiles

Today I am thrilled to be a member of the X-Block Hop (and there is a giveaway!). I found out about this hop from Amy at Sew Incredibly Crazy  A friend of hers, Doris Rice, is the new owner of the X-block and so, to help her friend, a blog hop was born.  I was excited to join as I did have a lovely quilt that I made using that technique.

 I love the X-block tool and the intricate designs you can make by trimming a 9 patch.  Yup – that’s the basic gist of it.  First you make a lot of nine patches, then you cut them up.  Sometimes that feels wasteful, but here’s the thing – you are not piecing wonky angles BUT buy cutting a block differently you get the effect of the odd angles. 

I loved, loved, loved this pattern.  I thought it would be perfect to use up some batiks I had collected.  The ones I was using up were the more solid/light fabrics in the quilt.  I had collected them for my Whitby Abby quilt – it appears in the beginning of my blog, but I actually never wrote an entire blog on it. You can even see some of these batiks in the link above, in the second picture.  

These are the two tools I used, the 6.5″ X block template* and the BellyButton 6.5*.  I think the way the colors play off of one another and that the design is so interesting.  I was looking for a colorful sky so all these light batiks have blues and some pinks in them.  It is such a cheery quilt and  perfect for a summer quilt.  The guest room in our cottage is dark and it really livens up the room.

Here are a couple of hints for making this quilt:

  • Starch your fabric (bias edges behave better when starched)
  • Pay attention to the directions (I know – simple but true!  there are Right and Left facing cuts)

    right facing block
    left facing block
    Teal square shows the Right Block, Orange is Left Block and
    Dotted Line Square shows 4 blocks making the diamond.

The pieces for the sides and top are made from some leftovers, if I remember correctly.  They were totally worth doing.  I wanted to use this on a queen size bed, so a few borders and it works!   Notice,  the top and bottom borders are smaller so it will fit my platform beds easily.   Finally, I quilted this on a longarm and loved doing it.

    • Kathleen

      Thanks, Rike! The border was really fun. Much more girly than many of my quilts, but I figure the geometric-ness of it allows my husband and son not to complain too much.

    I love the colors! And a big thank you for outlining each of the blocks and how they join together to form the overall design. I could not figure it out for the life of me- obviously very clever templates!

    • Kathleen
      May 9, 2018 / 2:26 PM

    May 9, 2018 / 1:37 AM

    Your quilt is so beautiful. It's all dependent on that very subtle central block, right? Well worth the waste, I think, to get such a stunning outcome. Just have to overcome the initial resistance–that's what I'm telling myself. 🙂

    • Kathleen
      May 9, 2018 / 2:27 PM

      Yes, I do know what you mean about the waste, as I still have some pieces I want to do something with. However, I couldn’t have made the quilt with it if I didn’t do that, so I think its ok!

    It is quite funny isn't it, how these patterns look like something I personally would never do, if it's difficult I just don't want to take the time to do it, but the rulers make it so simple. I enjoyed your details about the project and your quilt is truly stunning.

    I was just looking at that one on the website's pattern page and thinking what a beauty it was, and these wide borders look great on it. I have one of the rulers, but I've only made a few blocks for an American Hero quilt. I never realized all that I could do with it! Thank you.

    What a stunning quilt! Thanks for your words of wisdom for the caveats. I guess it comes from having been a project lead for years. I like to look at a quilt when I am done and think about what went right and what went wrong and what I would do differently the next time, even if that means not making that pattern again. Thanks for participating in the hop.

      Sometimes I just want to make a bed quilt and the quilt isn’t that size! I never mind big borders that hang off the edge!
