leftover school house block--help me make into a wall hanging or lap quilt
I want to use what will be a 12-inch finished (leftover from another project) school house block in the center of a lap quilt or wall hanging for a friend. I don't want to take away from the center block, but I don't know what kind of blocks to surround it with. (I don't want to make more school houses!) I want it to finish at about 36 inches. If I want it larger, I'll add a border.
I started out thinking of using four patch blocks, in muslin plus blue & green scrap fabrics. Then I thought about an Irish chain pattern, but I don't know how I'd handle that--guess I would have to draw it out.
Any other thoughts on what blocks to use? The house block is made with muslin and light & medium greens.
Thank you for any suggestions.
