"Follows Directions"

Last night I put together my block of the month from Rossville Quilts for next Wednesday. If I were still in school, my report card would look something like this:




Here is my finished block..........looks pretty good wouldn't you say? It is exactly the same layout as the sample photo in the instructions.



These little white lines below show how the block should have been assembled, a 16-patch, with half- and quarter-square triangles.
But, my graphic designer mind said, "Ruthie, you can put that same image together much easier than making all those quarter-square triangles."

So I drew the block in Adobe Illustrator and used those measurements to make my block.
