Entire books can be written about threads, their content and their uses and the techniques required to sew with them, so treat this as a simple introduction. I hope it will help beginners become more familiar with the massive selection of threads available to quilters.<p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://quilting.about.com/b/2010/02/22/thread-tips-for-quilters.htm">Thread Tips for Quilters</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://quilting.about.com/">About.com Quilting</a> on Monday, February 22nd, 2010 at 17:58:54.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://quilting.about.com/b/2010/02/22/thread-tips-for-quilters.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://quilting.about.com/b/2010/02/22/thread-tips-for-quilters.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://quilting.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://quilting.about.com/b/2010/02/22/thread-tips-for-quilters.htm&zItl=Thread Tips for Quilters">Email this</a></p>

The units along the other diagonal add even more visual movement to the block, so there's lots of opportunity for color-play. The Hither and Yon block finishes at 12" square.

I've included a couple of options in the pattern. One lets you strip piece sixteen groups of four identical H units, and then mix them up in the layout. The other gives you cutting instructions for one block, to help you attack the fabrics in your scrap bin (you might want to go with a combination of the two methods to make the best use of available fabrics). The quilt finishes at about 42" x 42" -- make it larger by sewing more of these simple blocks.
