"Anita's Arrowhead"
with Anita Solomon
Mar 16th, 2012
It’s difficult to imagine that a traditional 9" unfinished Arrowhead block could be made entirely from only two 8"’ squares of fabric, let alone that it’s pre-sewn. It's 10 subunits are created from only 2 seams and 3 rotary strokes.
· There are no templates
· There is no wasted yardage
Anita’s radical technique is preposterously mindless allowing you the opportunity to luxuriate in combining fabrics and compose the evolving quilt. The ease of the block construction belies the sophistication of the quilt’s appearance. Make the quilt any size you wish. Sewing machine and rotary cutting experience required. Suitable for all levels of experience.
