    Show me what's on your design wall right now...

    I just finished a queen-size quilt and waiting for my ordered batting to arrive before I can put my next quilt in the frame.

    Time to do some scrappy sewing and use up some of the scraps...

    So I've been making 6.5" scrappy log cabin blocks...

    Awe, so cute, I love that, can't wait to see finished quilt! I don't have a design wall, I just put on those clip hangers and hang on a door frame!

    Not that I'm actually working on anything, this stuff is just there for lack of a better place for it.

    I have a year's worth of sampler blocks demanding to be assembled. I am tired of resorting to sashing and cornerstones. :-(

    Anyone have any ideas? Sorry, the colors are a little off.

    I don't use a design wall, not enough wall space. I usually lay out as much as will fit on my table, not very big. I usually follow a pattern and when I'm done, I am amazed.

    Mine is folded up in a drawer! I bought a really nice curtain rod to hang it on and that is as far as it has gotten done since I moved to the new room! LOL!

    On the upside I have been quilting my little heart out today on a runner.

    How about putting a "border" all the way around a group of four or more blocks in the center-then use another row of blocks around the outside of that border.
    This is a little different arrangement. I did one
    and I like the way it turned out.

    I just looked at your blocks again-If they are fairly large size
    blocks and you only have 12, perhaps use fewer for the
    center group before adding the border.

    That's a good idea. Thank you so much!
    Edited to add: I think I will need more blocks?
