Planning the Quilting<br />
Quilt Patterns<br />
Single Block Patterns<br />
Single Block Patterns come in different sizes and shapes. Usually, they have the<br />
same start and end point. Here are some common block styles:<br />
(1) Allissa block 1 – is very detailed with a square-ish shape.<br />
Is very dense – Good for larger blocks.<br />
Has symmetry (and heart shapes) – suggest freeze aspect = ON<br />
Shape – square, circle maybe octagon<br />
(2) Allissa block 2 - is a simpler design with a square shape<br />
Is not dense – Could fit many sizes<br />
Has symmetry – suggest freeze aspect = ON<br />
Shape – square<br />
(3) Allissa block 3 – is circular, with more density on outer edges.<br />
Is very dense – Good for larger blocks<br />
Has motion – Direction of hearts conveys motion, suggest freeze aspect = on<br />
Shape – circular, maybe octagon.<br />
(4) Allissa block 4 – is detailed with a rectangular shape<br />
Is somewhat open – could fit many sizes<br />
Has secondary design – Multiple repeats might be interesting<br />
Shape – rectangle<br />
(5) Allissa tri – is a triangle, with more density on outer edges.<br />
Is not too dense – fits triangular shapes.<br />
Center focus – the density on the outer edges actually frames the heart<br />
Shape – triangle, could also be stitched multiple times for a composite shape.<br />
3.3.2 Continuous Patterns<br />
Continuous Patterns also come in different sizes and shapes. By definition, the<br />
startpoint and the endpoint are not the same point. Here are some common<br />
continuous styles:<br />
