I really like this block. Seams are a nightmare on a machine pieced 2" block. Can't imagine going any smaller.

Via Flickr:
2" block with self-sashing.

Autopilot forgot the horizontal bar in this Jane Stickle block. Kind of messes with the barn door styling.

The lighter fabric is leftover from my Jane Stickle quilt. The dark purple ditsy is leftover doll dress fabric.

Barbara Brackman and Kaffe Fassett reenacting the battle of Saratoga.

I have Burgoyne Surrounded on the brain. Just imagine the 289 pieces of BS making up a 2" block.

I didn't like the name of the block (poor thing) so I changed it to one that doesn't remind me of a stinker of a woman.

Paper pieced. 2" block from EQ.

2" x almost 2.5" block. Paper pieced from Blockbase. The raw edge blanket was added before sewing the two main pieces together.

Scraps from the Craftsy 2013 BOM and a modern wall hanging. I think both fabrics are from Connecting Threads. The yellow is old and unavailable now. The gray is newer and called Silver Lining.
