Bucket of Strips Quilt Blocks Done - Now What? Help!
6 Attachment(s)
I started out with a bucket of strips from a fabric designers tag sale. And then there is the matter of quilting, which I wanted to do on my embroidery machine ... don't really want borders as you'd get with fun and done ... *sigh* All my strips are now sewn into HST squares with black. Now what? I first thought I'd do a sunlight and shadows with blue toned squares offset going into red at the bottom - eight across, then seven, etc. But then I have all these other ones left over. Put them in the middle? Or should I do sets of four squares and just move them around? OR ... pinwheels? Now I know why quilters plan FIRST! Help! Here they are. The colors are off in my photos - the blues and reds are deep and rich. |
Those are cool blocks. There are probably at least a couple of dozen different ways to set them!! I'd put them on a design wall and just play with different arrangements for a week or two!

I LOVE all those colors - how beautiful this is going to be!
There are so many ways to lay this out - here are some EQ "serendipity" arrangements - the pdf has larger images of all eight of these. I really like the "braided" look - the last one - but the streak of lighting is really pretty, too. Of course, with fabrics as prettty as you have there, anything you choose is going to be lovely! :) |
Oh boy! Thank you! I don't have EQ, so that is just what I needed.
Unfortunately, no room for a design wall here. And if I laid them out on my bed, I'd play so long we'd never get to sleep! |

Annie and then Play some more! Take a look a the dozens of different arrangements for Log Cabin quilts, as you could use them for these blocks. |
How about arranging them in a spiral out from the center? I think they would look cool that way if it works. You could also look up different arrangements of the log cabin blocks. It's a different block but the same principal of a dark and light diagonal block. They are very pretty!
