I'm on a Roll ...

Today's featured block is called Rolling Stone and last time I featured a quilt block called Rolling Pin. (This is where you groan at my sense of humour.)

What I noticed is that both blocks use the same patches, but changes in colour and reversing the direction of some of the patches makes an entirely new block.

Moving on from that concept, I thought it would be interesting to design a two block quilt, using these blocks and see what I come up with. The sample quilt below illustrates this. Two block quilts are used mostly to create a secondary pattern so it is difficult to pick out the individual blocks. See if you are successful in finding the two different blocks.

One of my next projects is to create a series of two block quilt illustrations using the blocks I feature on the Patchwork Square quilt site. If you have suggestions for blocks you would like me to feature, please comment below.
