Dave

 Based on the traditional "Tumbling Blocks" or "Baby Blocks" design, this Tessatop suits the use of scrap fabrics as well as co-ordinated colour choices. Careful placement of light, medium and dark tonal values creates the three dimensional effect. The hand sewing technique of English Piecing over paper foundation shapes has been used for accuracy and ease of piecing. More... TT6

Graham

Based on the traditional "Favourite" or "Diamonds and Arrow Points" block, this Tessatop suits the use of a novelty fabric (eg Japanese or I-spy prints) for the hexagons. A dark background colour with light coloured diamonds helps to make the stars stand out. The hand sewing technique of English Piecing over paper foundation shapes has been used for accuracy and ease of piecing. More...

James

 The three dimensional nature of this Tessatop is achieved with careful placement of light, medium and dark fabrics when assembling the centre panel. The three dimensional effect is further enhanced because the fabric used for the borders has been used to bridge the area between the design and the borders. The hand sewing technique of English Piecing over paper foundations has been used for accuracy and ease of piecing as there are no straight seam lines. More... TT1

Mal

 The "floating" effect of the rings above the background in this Tessatop is achieved with careful colour choice when assembling the centre panel. The effect is enhanced by using colours opposite each other on the colour wheel eg blue background with orange rings, green with red, or violet with yellow. A strong contrast between the background and the rings is essential. The hand sewing technique of English Piecing over paper foundations has been used for accuracy and ease of piecing as there are no straight seam lines. More... TT3

Russ

 The "woven" effect of this Tessatop is achieved with careful placement of shapes to create 3 distinct strips of colour when assembling the centre panel. The three dimensional effect may be further enhanced by using striped fabrics for the woven strips. A strong contrast between the background and the "weaving" is essential. The hand sewing technique of English Piecing over paper foundations has been used for accuracy and ease of piecing as there are no straight seam lines. More... TT2
