Unknown Named Quilt Block
Jan. 18th, 2019 08:18 pm
Corners are half square rectangles. There will be a solid right triangle and other half will be made of 2 triangles, bisected from corner to mid-point on short side of triangle. There will be a right triangle (the same size as a 1/2 long rectangle) and an obtuse triangle of background fabric on that half square triangle.
Sides are made 2 squares blocks, each square block is made of 2 half 'long rectangles'. Fold square in half and cut on that fold. Turn this into long half triangle unit block. make 2. Sew together into square with same color not touching along long edge.
Repeat to equal 8 squares. Orient the square long triangle blocks so one goes horizontal and other vertical.
Center block is solid background color and each side is equal to two long triangle square blocks.
This would be a great center block for a quilt.

Looking Glass Eggs
What you’ll need
Plastic Easter Eggs
Krylon Looking Glass Mirror Like Spray Paint
Scissors
Empty Egg Carton
Easy Looking Glass Easter Eggs Tutorial
With a pair of household scissors, cut the little plastic strip that holds the two halves of the plastic eggs together. Cut as close as you can to the egg.
Use an empty egg carton to lay the egg halves on for painting.
Spray lightly with a thin coat of Krylon Looking Glass spray paint. This paint dries very quickly. In five minutes or so, look for any spots that did not get covered, move the eggs around so you can spray that area more easily and give it a quick light spray. I sprayed each area just once, and very lightly.
Note: Don’t put on several coats unless you don’t want the color to show through. Too many coats or heavy coats will turn the eggs silver and mirror like. You can see on my finished eggs that the coverage is not exactly even, but I think that is what makes them more interesting.
You can add decorative ribbon or just leave them as they are like I did. All that is left to do now is to decide how to display them! Easy!
