So Excited!
I took my new blocks to the sewing room and they shouted that they wanted to be joined with some bright blocks I'd been sewing yesterday. I added a border to make the 6.5 inch blocks to 6.5 x 8.5. This is how some of them look! I'm saving some of the more subdued ones for the other idea I had, but this is going to work. I'm thinking some kind of black/white sashing and little red squares inbetween that--dunno for sure, but these brights are working together, I think! There's going to be 2 quilts from these blocks--and they will be so-o-o different! The "holes" are where I still need to make some crumb blocks.
How fun! Great setting idea. I'm off to the post office to send you my block right now.

I like the look of this. I'm be tempted to skip sashing the blocks altogether and put them together in a straight set with your cool(I mean bright!) scrappy alternate blocks and then just add a few borders and include the black & white print in one of them.
ReplyDeleteThis looks super!
ReplyDeleteA really vivid setting-- I think I agree with Sophie about the setting.
ReplyDeletePutting your blocks in the mail tomorrow!
