At first glance this block does not look overly interesting. I chose to use two focus fabrics, rather than the usual choice of one dominant fabric and the other being the background fabric. As a result, when blocks are placed side by side in your quilt, a secondary, directional pattern can emerge. Check the next page for quilt design suggestions.
