Tile Titan 2 - block 2 in Kate Quinn’s Tile Titan’s series. I am working on a plan for 12 design. They will likely come out on the 4th Sunday of the month as time permits with my travel schedule.
Initial Markings:
All design will be based on the 8 PT crosshairs as the foundation. The center reference square is an on point square made with the flat of the square 3.5” from the center. (See the video for more explanation of this.)
Step 1:
2” Center circle. Not connected to anything so just stitch it and cut threads.
Step 2:
3” x 1.5” Simple Oval aligned with the inner oval bottom cutout on the center and sewing Crosshair line to Crosshair line.
Step 3:
Echo the oval from step 2 using the inner oval push up 1/4” beyond the step 2 oval. You can measure that with the spacing gauge of estimate if desired. Use the Crosshair again as the stop point in between.
Step 4:
Template to start and stop positions with the stitching line disks. See video for more info here. Stitch the straight line with SR3x8 and put the inner section of the 2” x 4” Oval on the diagonal Crosshair lines to stitch the inner oval halves on the square.
Step 5:
Echo the lines from step 4 with the .75” echo ring. See the video for more information.
Step 6:
Curve border flow is the Back to Back 3-2 on the tall side. I will also then echo it on the inside.
Step 7:
Add the 3.5" Grand Leafs to the inside corners of the square and the 5.5” Grand Leaf to the inside of the oval and echo arches.
Step 8:
Add the 3.5” Grand leaf to the corners and add double Grand Leafs to the NSEW sections of the design again using the Grand Leaf. I plan to use a larger size than I showed in the video, either the 7.5” or the 9.5” whichever fits better.
Thanks for watching!
