After admiring the quilts submitted in the Masters two block challenge, I pondered what a quilt would look like if we selected two blocks from the same subcategory in BlockBase Plus and auditioned them in both a horizontal and on-point layout.
Here are the guidelines to create your own Birthday Two Block Quilt.
The blocks from the video came from BlockBase Plus. The category was 08 Four Patch. The subcategory was 03 Thirty-Six Squares.
The first selected blocks was Brackman ID 1155 (Spinning Arrows by Nancy Cabot). The second selected block was Brackman ID 1158. It was published (without a name) by Woman's Circle in 1963 and with the name Flower Garden Path by Quilter's Newsletter Magazine (using flower garden prints).
If you don't have Block Base Plus, consider selecting two blocks from one of the categories in the Electric Quilt library. This will work best if the grids are consistent for the selected blocks.
Set your Birthday blocks in a horizontal layout and an on point layout. You can see that the huge difference that comes from just swapping out the layouts.
I would love to see your two block quilt. Share you pictures in the Learning EQ Facebook Group.
