results, ensure a high contrast between light and dark elements in the block.

cut edges and use color catchers to prevent bleeding.

Here is an example of a “one-block wonder.” A single block is repeated and
arranged to create this dynamic quilt. The block consists of 2 four-patch
units and 2 football units. Beginning quilters will have no trouble mastering
this technique. The border is lightly pieced to “complete” the design in the
body of the quilt.
Color selection is important, as the design is strongest with a high contrast
between the light and dark elements of the block. Choose the print fabric
first, then let the colors in the print guide you to the coordinating fabrics
needed.
There is an alternative layout that creates diagonal lines across the quilt,
instead of the “X” variation shown on the sample. This will be discussed and
demonstrated in class.
For the best result, use only 100% cotton quilting fabric. Home dec, outdoor
fabric, polyester blends will not perform in the same way. Pre-washing the
fabric is highly recommended. Just remember to serge or zig-zag the cut edges
first, and drop in a color catcher or 2 in case of color bleeding.
