help with layout for different sized squares
1 Attachment(s)
Hello!
I'm hoping there is some good creative juices going on! I cut out a bunch of squares with the idea of doing a circles of squares, but changed my mind. They are cut out in the following sizes: 6.5, 6.5, 4.5, 3.5, 2.5 and 1.5 inches respectively. I'm playing with layout options, but need help! [ATTACH=CONFIG]611546[/ATTACH] The four colours at the bottom - I have those too, in all of the sizes. I have tons of white fabric to do borders around them to make them all the same size. It doesn't have to be on point, at this point I just need ideas on what to do with these squares! Thanks so much ... Marion |
Just an idea here. Border them all in white to bring the blocks all to the same size. Stack same colors small to large top to bottom. Like a drop of water growing as it goes down?
|
What about clustering the biggest ones in the center, and have "rays" shooting out from it, from largest to smallest, with a white background?

here's one option
[ATTACH=CONFIG]611575[/ATTACH] I'll work on the "rays" ... thanks |
I like the last option. Reminds me of beads cascading down.

If you want to add to your squares, here is a cute quilt I saw on Pinterest. Makes nice use of different sized squares/colors. |
What about something like this?

Ooh, I like that one!
|
I like your last option but I see that you have some other ideas from the members.
|
right now I'm making them all 6.5 inch blocks ... white border - it will be easier to try other layout options then!

so here's what I have so far ... once all of the blocks are the same size, I'll be able to play a bit more with a design if I don't like this one!

looking good so far
|
I like what you've started. Looks great!
|
I like this layout you have on the wall
|
That is going to be nice, I really like it, the colors will really pop.
|
I love what you came up with! It is going to be a great looking modern quilt. You have a great eye, I looked at your original post and basically said “duh?”
|
I really like this layout. You go, girl!
|
I love this option!

So, I ended up sewing it all together in the "drop down" layout ... now I need ideas on how to quilt it.
I'm pretty good at FMQ, so float those fabulous ideas by me! Thanks so much for all the input! I so love this board for all the creativity! [ATTACH=CONFIG]611732[/ATTACH] |
