Quilt Block Puzzle Crooked Path Designs

The Quilter's Block Puzzle paper digital cutting design available by Snapdragon Snippets through Silhouette America's online store can provide some fun pattern play for adults and children. A tray holds 16 paper "blocks" that have colorful patchwork patterns cut and adhered to the top (and for this pattern, the back, too). The blocks can be re-arranged into various patterns that recreate traditional patterns. Following are a few for the "Crooked Mile". Copy these 8 patterns with your cut and assembled set, Can you make more original fun patterns?

 This block is called "Drunkard's Path". Note that we made a mistake in the top right corner block. It should be turned clockwise two positions. To make this set, cut 2 shape sets (1 set = quarter-circle shape and "L" shape) from 8 different prints. Also cut 32 background squares from 8 different white prints. Glue shapes with plain squares, then glue each of these "patches" to FRONT and BACK of blocks. Find tray and block construction tutorials on this blog site.
