Puzzle Me This....
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have several unfinished quilts that I would like to complete...but I don't have any instructions...

I am hoping if I show you pictures of what I have someone will know the pattern and give some direction.

This one has a few complete blocks as shown. One long strip as shown 3.5" wide x 44" long. I have more fabric to finish this...but what is it and how do I do it? I know how to make the block...what is the long strip going to be? Small corner blocks maybe?

Any help appreciated

Wow! I feel ya'. I received my mil's stash and ufo's at her passing. I have 5-6 of them I have been looking at off and on for 5 years trying to figure out what she meant for them to be. I actually just got one top done for a large king size bed. I just finally came up with my own plan that used all the pieces (almost) that she had.
now to figure out how to sandwich and quilt the bugger :)

See if this tutorial will help you . You need to cut the long strips up into smaller units and then rearrange them and sew them back together.

It looks like it might be the pieced block for a double Irish Chain. The other block would be that floral with the light tiny floral appliqued to the corners.

That is what I think also a Double Irish Chain. I went and got my Quilt in a Day Irish Chain book and it looks exactly like what is called Block A, Block B would have the floral as the middle sections and your white with print would be the corner stone blocks on that.

I must not be seeing this...I kinda get how the long strip can turn into an irish chain, but how does the block fit? I will look at some of my books and see if I have any directions.

I appreciate the insight...I would not have ever thought of this.

Just keep up the good work. Trying to figure someone else's ideas is a real challenge. Too bad we can't just climb inside the person's brain and find the right file folder in the brain containing the information.....................kidding, of course :)
