There is no time like the present to get these little gems up here on the blog – the response in two days has been overwhelming, and I am listening!
This is a BLOCK TUTORIAL. Instructions for a full quilt may come later, but it will take me a long time to build the number of blocks I need, and I’m trying to get this out here before I fly off to Oregon on Monday.
If you read yesterday’s post you will recall that the Sugar Bowl block is related to the Jacob’s Ladder block, with a few slight differences.
Jacob’s ladder has 5 4-patches, with the dark chain of the 4 patches going UP through the ladder formed by the 4 half-square triangle units.
In the Sugar Bowl block, 2 of those corner 4-patches are replaced with solid squares, the light half of the triangle units point toward the center (opposite of Jacob’s Ladder) and the darks in the 4-patches go side ways across the block, not up the ladder.
It’s a subtle difference obtained with fabric value, and rotation of units, and it makes for an interesting change.
