I'm almost finished with these blocks. My goal was 30 and I have 28 sewn. I have 6 yet in progress. When I'm making a scrap quilt I always like to make a few extra blocks to trade out if some don't just quite "fit" visually.
These are made from both old and new fabric, solids, prints, stripes, plaids. Such a variety. I love mixing old and new.
Now that the blocks are almost finished I'm thinking more earnestly about the other details.
Will I or won't I
-- use an arbitrary layout?
-- organize the layout by light/dark or some other way?
-- use wide or narrow sashing?
-- make stars in the sashing?
-- set them straight or on point?
-- be overly cautious and take the safe route with sashing?
-- be bold with sashing by using stripes or a completely different color?

Ooh, I love your blocks. I can't wait to see how you answer all those questions. What fun!
ReplyDeleteDecisions...decisions! You will fret over your choices and whatever you decide, I know those pretty blocks will turn into a beautiful quilt, They look absolutely wonderful laid out together.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love this block so much, seeing your version just reminds me that I need to just break down and make a quilt from this (sooner rather than later).
ReplyDeleteGood idea, I always make extra of everything too, just in case it doesn't look right! Yours looks stunning, this will be a striking quilt when finished
ReplyDeleteI just adore these blocks and I am sure it will be fun deciding how to put them together. I'm eager to see the end result. Beautiful!!
