So here we are again, In the throws of another orphan block storm session and the question of, what do I do with all these blocks? In some instances I just put em together and be done with them. Like these scrappy squares, which came to me in 9x9 blocks.
They aren't all going to be beautiful Like the brown brick wall quilt in the last post, and they aren't all going to be difficult to figure out either, Like This around the world quilt of half square triangles, which was just a pile of 4.5" HST's when it appeared in the pile. I just sewed them together and added a border No real thought just sew and be done.
Now these 12.5 inch have been moving around my design board for a week and I still don't like it. It's OK, I could do it But I don't LIKE it. So I decided to use more of the 6.5"strip blocks, of which I have about a bazillion,
to surround the 2- 17" Churn dash blocks at the bottom of the pile but I had to cut them down to 6"squares to make them fit, no loss we have 400, I am not even joking we will be seeing a lot of these babies! And in order to look at what I was doing on the design board I had to move the 12.5" blocks over and Happy accident! The darker of the 12.5" blocks looked good alongside the Churn dash blocks with their strip borders, Woo! I just need to make the border a little longer and add some, A(?) border between the 12.5" blocks and that one is done too!
