Hi Ya!

I am so excited to be back with me second recipe. I’m Richy of SpazzyCat Designs and hopefully you know me from Instagram under the name RichyJr16 and for those of you that don’t I have been quilting since I was 13 years old. Fracture Composition was designed for the Guys and the Modern lovers. Mix together a great neutral collection like BasicGrey's Compositions with a bold Grunge and you're ready to get modern with it.

This quilt/project finishes at 64" x 64".

The Cutting-

From the background cut 32 10" squares.
From the Layer Cake pick out 32 squares.

Cut the all the squares in half diagonally. Then measure 3" from the center and cut. Move the triangle out and measure 3" from the outside edge and cut a diamond. Repeat with the other side. You now have two diamonds a small and large triangle from have of a square. Do this to all 32 layer cake squares and background squares.

Trim the block to 8 1/2" unfinished. If your seams a bigger trim them a little smaller.

Repeat with the rest of your blocks, 64 blocks all together.

The Layout Game-

Using a design wall or the floor, layout your blocks. 8 rows of 8 blocks. Twist and turn your blocks around and have fun creating a fun modern quilt. There really are lots of ways to put the blocks together. Think of them as large fracture half square triangles.
