Oh, how I loved working with this block! It was a nice gift after the pain of the schoolhouse block. I fussy cut the shibori to give a chevron look to the breeches. For the symmetry block I wanted to make a block all in gray and black. I really like the end effect in this block.
Here are the templates that I used for the block.
Here are the 4 fabrics in the symmetry block.
You can get directions for making this block on Barbara Brackman's blog and you can see the other blocks in the Flickr group.
You have made an ecellent use of your fabrics tomake these blocks extraordinary.

Vicki, usually I like the shibori blocks better, but this symmetry block is absolutely gorgeous. My favourite of them all so far.

Vicki, that second block is fabulous! Perhaps this would make a good submission to Quilting Arts Mag?
