The Goddess Block Project–Blocks 3 & 4

So, last week was just a bit crazy for me.  I was preparing to teach at Road to California and even though I did get Block 3 posted to YouTube and on my website, I did not blog about it.  So today I am blogging about Blocks 3 & 4.

Block 4 sample 2

Each block is designed using The Goddess Tool, it is available in a PDF form here (click on the Tool below):NIAHS-RulerTmeplate

You can always order an actual acrylic Tool on my website, Needle in a Hayes Stack.

The reason these blocks are designed using The Goddess Tool, is because there are many quilters who own this tool and I wanted to make sure you had plenty of blocks you could create.  I do not want you to think this tool is a one purpose tool.  It has many, many uses!

I also have a video about general use of The Goddess Tool, just in case you want to check out all the uses for the tool.  Click here:

I hope you are enjoying this weekly Free Block Project!
