    Default Do these fabrics work together?
    I want to donate a block or two to Quilting for Boston. They've asked for blocks using blue, yellow, grey and white and this is what I have available. I don't trust my eye -- do these fabrics work? I was thinking of something similar to a log cabin block (adjusted because I don't have that many different fabrics) I was thinking the yellow in the middle with the greys and blues surrounding.

    It needs to be 12 inches tall; can be any width but probably I will make it square. I'm now thinking of a zig-zag block.

    If you have a dark brown I'd add that to the mix for more contrast.

    Leaders and Enders-This is very neat. If you already use a leader and an ender why not create something as you are already using these scrap fabrics. Check these quilts out! Beautiful and the fabric was not wasted and you created an extra quilt while
