A friend gave me this hand-pieced patchwork units and I'm kind of fascinated with doing something with them. They are very inconsistent in size and I really don't want to hand applique them to a base fabric. No way to I want to try to make inset pieces either. I thought maybe I could cut them up into some other shape and sew them together with some muslin background fabrics. Any suggestion as to where to start cutting them. I have no idea who pieced them, so the work has no sentimental value to me. I just like the challenge of not letting them go completely to waste and I like the old fabrics. (Grrr! I'll attach pictures as soon as I can remember how to size them.)
