Hi, I went overboard cutting 6" blocks! Now I need suggestions on how to use them. I was going to do a scrappy pinwheel, but forgot about the 8 seams! Any ideas? I've already tried sewing the blocks into strips and cutting to make "bricks". It seems too simplistic and hoping for something more interesting.

The strips will make a great scrappy quilt! My sister made 2 like that for their vacation cabin and the kids want to take them home, even tho they have quilts at home that she made.
|
I used the brick path for the quilt I made for our trailer and I love how it turned out.
|
How about sewing 3 or 4 strips together and a plain strip between?
|
I like your scrappy brick strips, but if you want variety, cut your strips different widths and maybe introduce a solid color. Just a thought.
|
cool! Have fun!
|
I love that pattern with a narrow dark strip inbetween the others. It really changes the look. You can even throw a few here and there in the scrappy strips :D:D:D Someone just posted one like that recently.

I love that ... I need to do one like that...but with reds, whites andd blacks ... :D

Try this with 4 patch blocks--can't remember where I saw this (probably here lol) but this makes a pretty block.
|
That is a great idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Theresse

Very cool technique...thanks for sharing

Some people call it "tossed" or "chinese" coins and the black reall shows off the colors of the other strips.

The quilt in this post is a lovely example of the "coins" doen with white.

I like using the bricks around a center panel like this one I did here:

Hi, here is a link to quilterscache 6 in and smaller blocks. The patterns are free. http://www.quilterscache.com/BlocksbySizeA.html
also a link to one I did with the Indian Hatchet block. With6 inch squares, you could use a 3 inch square in the corners. It is an easy block to make, and looks great in all colors. Good luck, and have fun with it! |
