I played with the Triangle Weave quilt block (from Nancy Martin’s Perpetual Calendar 365 Quilt Blocks A Year) this week.
The block can be drawn with a 4 x 4 grid.
Here is how it looks set side-by-side in a straight set:
In the following design, I have switched the white and gray. I have also rotated some of the blocks.
Next, there are plain blocks added. The original block has been altered. You can see this by looking at a corner block.
Again, I’ve made a simple alteration to the Triangle Weave quilt block and the change creates a pinwheel in the center. I also deleted some lines to create another version of the block. This allowed the red points to really show up.
In this next design, I have changed some of the red from the Triangle Weave block to black. This new block created the illusion of space, yet it is the exact same block.
Here is the Triangle Weave block set on point:
And set on point, but some of the blocks have been rotated:
If I were to make the next one, I might call it ‘The Queen of Hearts”.
One last design set on point with plain blocks:
Very interesting mix!

I love taking one block and discovering the variety it will yield if one just takes a little time to play around with it.
