\"Spiky<\/a>
Spiky 16 Patch block 1, quilt 3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am getting started again on a third Spiky 16 Patch donation quilt.<\/p>\n

It is easy just to keep making 16 patches. They are pretty rote, but I have a lot of the prep done for more spiky 16 patches and the units don’t help anyone laying around the workroom. I made the first block with no problems. The first block is always the hurdle. Now I feel like I can zoom through the process.<\/p>\n

The stack of the 16 patches and the half rectangle triangles made a good start.<\/p>\n

As you can see the rectangles point in different directions I am a bit short of the ones that point to the right (on the bottom row). I had to make a few to finish this block. I will need to make more to finish the rest of the quilt as well. It is a little confusing to know which way to cut the fabric to get the triangles to point in the right direction. I think it is with the print fabric on top. I want to dig out the\u00a0Split Recs ruler<\/a> directions to see if that particular piece of information is clearly noted. If it is clear, then I won’t have to try and remember. Small details like that disappear when there is space between projects.<\/p>\n
