Add a dash of modern flair with Rickrack! The Rickrack Quilt is made with the traditional Shaded 4-Patch block, which can be described as a traditional 4-Patch block cut in half diagonally. To create this block, there is no cutting or piecing of triangles. All the piecing is done with strips and rectangles, creating oversized blocks which are then trimmed down with the Tucker Trimmer® I to make them perfect. One light fabric, one medium fabric, and one dark fabric are all you need to create this interesting design.
