Quilt pieces=puzzle!
Hi Everyone,
I was silly enough to pick up a bunch of already cut quilt pieces at a garage sale. Now, Im tearing my hair out trying to figure out what quilt the person was planning to make! Maybe these will ring a bell with someone here! I have packets (almost 300). Each packet has 3 fabric pieces...(1)2-1/2 inch x 10 inch strip.(1) 4-1/2 in square and (1) 5-1/4 inch square. Anyone have an idea?? Deb |
Don't know the pattern, but it sounds like you sew the 4 1/2 in. square to the 5 1/4 in. square. Then sew the 10 in. strip to the top/bottom/side to become sashing between the blocks. ... just guessing. Hopefully, someone will know exactly what the pattern is.

I think the 5-1/4 inch piece might be cut into fourths - making quarter square triangles - and the triangles might be sewn to the 4 -1/2 inch piece - that would make a square in a square or a diamond in a square (I never know which one to call it)
I don't have any idea yet of what to do with the 10 inch strip. |
I think you should separate them all out and make a Bonnie Hunter scrap quilt. Just saying.

Deb The strip is a small cream print. The larger square is a purple on purple print. The smaller square is a floral that has colors from both other pieces Im still sure there was an original "plan" and that makes it a puzzle for me! Deb |
You've got me hooked; I've been trying all sorts of combinations to make it work! :)
|
Anxious to see what everyone comes up with cuz i have no clue!
|
Could you take some pictures and let us see them? That might help. I'm a "visual" person. Can't really grasp something unless I see it. Maybe someone on this board will be able to help you.

I'm with QuiltsRfun....I would have bought it as well, but added it to the scrap bins... each in it's proper sized box of course...to combine with other fabrics to make a scrap quilt.
|
Please be sure, if you figure this out, to let us know! I keep moving them around in my mind! :)
|
It sounds like maybe you could cut the larger purple square twice diagonally and make a square-in-a-square around the smaller floral square. The strips are maybe sashing?
|
Don't you just love puzzles? You can make the square-in-a-square, or there's a method of making 4 (2x4") flying geese - but I can't figure how the 10" strip fits with either of them. I feel there should be more pieces to this. If I come across a likely quilt will let you know.
Good luck |
PS - I'd go back to where you bought them and ask whoever had the garage sale,
