Default Anyone have any ideas?

I found a sack of fabric at a yard sale. When I got it home it contained...... Strips of fabric 3 1/2 inches wide sewn together and cut 3 1/2 inches wide. Here is the confusing part. there are 2 stacks of 2 blocks, 2 stacks of 3 blocks, 2 stacks of 4 blocks and the strips of 5 and 6 pieces are not yet cut into blocks. No instructions or pictures. Anyone have any idea what pattern she was making? Or what I can do with these blocks?

Kind of hard to get an idea without a picture of the blocks.

Try laying them out on your design board Abe something will jump out at you.

​No idea but you can probably find a scrap pattern at http://www.quiltville.blogspot.ca in the free pattern tab.

Not sure what pattern but from the counts it sounds like it was meant to be an on point layout.

Just mix them up. It is your quilt now, so it is also yours to design. Have a great time with it.

It would help if you could post a picture.

Perhaps your photo is too large and you need to make it smaller. That is the main reason photos don't post.
