Good Day, and welcome to my blog.
Stolen hours in my sewing room has led to some block making of a new columns-type quilt. I saw this pattern on a quilt list I am a member of - Stashbusters on Groups.io. Its ultimate origin may be on Pinterest.
In any case I gathered my array of 1930's reproduction fabric scraps, and cut them into 2 inch squares. I also cut squares of Kona Snow and Kona Charcoal solids. It starts with a simple block:
With a nice diagonal movement. The solids are not quite stark white and black but they have a high contrast. Now, set some blocks together, rotating some blocks:
More nice diagonal movement. Even better: Set the blocks on point:

This is the pattern and look that set our internet group talking. This is working up slowly because with a finished square size of 1.5 inches the blocks are only 6 inches across, finished. If I do this again I would pick a bigger starting square size, say 3 inches. I don't know yet how big this will be, but not large as I am using up my precut squares at a fast speed. I also don't know how I'll finish the edges, but I'll think on that later.
I am using many different fabrics that play well together, and I would recommend that if you want this kind of look. It doesn't have to be reproduction fabrics - I think modern Tula Pink type fabrics would work well too.
