Good friends are like quilts,
they never lose their warmth.

| Bijou Quilt by Adele Bruno, CZT Cubine, Bales by Maria Thomas. Tri-Bine by Laura Liu, CZT, Heart Box by Helen Williams |
Once completed, this foursome of tangled Bijou tiles reminded me of a quilt - and this saying as well.
To create it, I began by lining up four Bijou tiles and then added a square grid over all four tiles.
Next, I added Maria Thomas' Cubine and Bales, along with Laura Liu, CZT's Tri-Bine and Helen Williams' Heart Box. All four tangles begin with the same square grid, but Bales and Heart Box added a nice rounded balance to the others.
After a quilt came to mind, I began moving the pieces around and was pleasantly surprised by what happened ~

Each time I rotated the tiles, the mosaic took on a new look...

Bales looked beautiful in the center...

The key to having interchangeable tiles, is to begin with a grid that runs over all of them - after that the possibilities are endless.
How fun!
Enjoy!
Wow - love this. I'm still intending to do my first ensemble! Think I'll start in Bijou size, but now realise I don't have to start with 9 tiles - maybe four is the way to go! Thanks as always for your inspiration!
