I signed up for a quilt block swap on swapbot, I don't tend to follow patterns but there's a first time for everything, right? I followed this tutorial for 16 patch blocks and made two for my partner.
Not the most aesthetically pleasing pictures, sorry! I used some fabrics I've been hoarding for a while and after I made a couple of practice blocks, they came together very quickly...frustratingly, I made one following the instructions exactly but it came out about an inch under. Argh! I enjoyed doing something different though but I think I might stick to my scrappy improv blocks in the future...
These are my two practice blocks. The blue/white one is my favourite but turned out way too small and I didn't have enough fabric for another go, boo. It's probably going to be turned into a cushion at some point.
