What is on your design wall this morning? I'm linking up - https://smallquiltsanddollquilts.blogspot.com/
My design wall is full of Roll On blocks, ready for sewing into rows. I may have to "live" with this layout for a couple of days while I redistribute colors for a better balance.
I love this pattern and need to keep it in mind for more future quick projects. The unfinished blocks are 7.5", so this one with 30 blocks is perfect for a child or crib size. But it looks great in any size and any colors. A group of friends and I made a large sized one for donation to a breast cancer raffle back in about 2009. It was to support a teacher coworker of one of the group. Several of us made these blocks in pinks, greys, and blacks and then we got together and sewed the top together as a team.
There are 80 blocks in this one, plus a couple of borders. See our quilt in progress, and get more of the story of the quilt - at this blog post - made the first month I was blogging. Time sure flies!! The little boy in the post is a senior in college already!!
EDITED: I also found a picture of another Roll On quilt I made. This one was for another cancer fundraiser, made in 2011. It had a more masculine look to it. This may have to be a color combination I try again - reds, gold, and grey.

Those Roll On blocks look like fun! I do the same thing with the layout -- I have to leave the blocks on the design wall for a few days, take pictures and look at them on the computer to see if anything jumps out at me on the screen that I didn't notice "live," and make REALLY CERTAIN that I'm happy with how all the blocks are relating to one another before I can commit to start sewing them together!
All of these Roll On quilts are wonderful. You have a good eye for color and fabric placement.
These quilts would be great for baby quilt, with my baby fabric stash. I made some notes and will make one with Roll On blocks. Thanks for showing us your beautiful quilts. And thanks for linking with Design Wall Monday, Judy
I square up each quarter of the block to 4.25".
I love that design. Would be wonderful for RSC and so many other projects. Could you let me know what measurements you use to cut the wedges please? Many thanks.
