Patches of Destruxion

 Hello everybody! September is over in the #focuscuttingsewalong and I have actually managed to stay on track for this month! The theme was Green and I made 6 blocks in total You can see I have joined an extra filler square onto one of the blocks, that's all apart of the plan to turn these into an actual quilt! Honeycombs don't tesselate by themselves so I am using squares as the extra shape.

Week 22 was Vertical Lines. For this shape, that meant the lines along the length of the shape. I did two blocks. First up, this classic interpretation of the prompt.

I went extra line-y on this one, choosing this fabric with extra chevron lines, in addition to the overall stripe effect. Week 23 was horizontal lines. These run across the width of the shape, making a square effect towards the centre of the block. Again, I made two blocks. First up, this blue block. This was the first fabric I pulled to use for this theme. You can see my
