***Tips!***
How to audition your setting block from the layout
- I sewed the top and bottom section of the setting block, leaving the middle to audition
- Pin the blocks, vertical fabric and setting block sections up on the wall
- take a photo of each option
- look at them in your camera to see from a distance what works.
- I think both the red and blue work.. which did I pick?
I picked blue!
Since my long spacer strips are red, I went with adding blue to the middle
***Bonus layout Block this week***
I always have bonus layouts that show you how the block is used in a quilt.
