I did a Maxine quilt for me. Used the shadow box method....I think that is what it is called. Fussy cut the little Maxine boxes.....they are all different sizes!!! and then frame them about half way on 2 sides with a dark ( shadow ) fabric and finish the frame with the background fabric. Then add another border of the background fabric....bigger than you think, because you need to trim the finished blocks to the same size ( remember, the orgional fussy cuts are different sizes! ) Or you could just use the orgional fussy cut pieces and just add strips around to make them bigger blocks....kind of like a log cabin but without the dark/light visual. Whatever you deciede, you have to make those little fussy cut Maxines bigger!!!! In my quilt, I made some of the blocks ( 12 inches finished ) with Maxine centered, some with her in the upper or lower corners....made for a visual treat for the eyes, rather than just Maxine centered in all the blocks. LOVE Maxine and Floyd, the dog, too!!!!
