I have one set done that is waiting to be quilted and bound. Pic #1
I have another that needs a border. Thinking to put a yellow or blue tiny strip then a blue print border on. What ever I find this weekend. Pic #2
And I found another set. I have always loved this block but not sure what it is. I am however facinated with the secondary designs that come up when these blocks are put together. I won't butt these up against each other since they are all hand sewn with thick thread and not matching too well but its a thought for a quilt in the future.
There are 42 of these blocks. 2 sets of 7 that match
4 sets of 3 each that match
4 sets of 2 and 8 singles.
I know I am going to put sashings inbetween and think I am going with the muslin and blue like in the center of the block or maybe muslin and red. Just to change it up a bit.
Since I am putting muslin and a color I have a lot of blocks and this will get pretty big.
what do you think about splitting up the blocks and making more than one quilt or should I keep them all together?
Ok I am having problems sending. I will try to get the pictures on another way.
It is not letting me load the pictures. Darn.
