jeanannquilts Sound Waves - I have a friend who is a jazz musician so I was thrilled to make a quilt with a music themed fabric. I cut the nine patch squares "wonky" , mixed them up and sewed them together using a shuffle system. After the blocks were finished I squared them off using an 8" square ruler and a zig-zag blade on my rotary cutter. Then I appliqued the blocks on top of the black squares. It sounds involved, but I made the top in a day.
