Over-flowing box of squares
 
1 Attachment(s)
When I made extra blocks, have leftover scrappy binding or borders, things I hae been saving because I love, etc., I put them in a box. It was time to go through the box and see what I could come up with. Now that I see a picture, I am not happy with the 16" square on the right side with the mass of lavender. But not going to take it all apart now. Thanks for looking.

I really like it and think the lavender square calms it down a bit. I love your idea and I think I'll give it a try!

Nice job!

I think it's fun! It's like a sample of a lot of the quilts you've made - a good remembrance!

It does kind of jump out at you. Maybe add a bit of appliqué?

Great idea it looks wonderful! If you're not happy with the lavender patch, maybe do some applique or some fancy stitches through it to break it up a little.

I agree, something small and simple, like a heart or flower, appliqued in each quarter of the lavender block would be easy and would balance it out with the other blocks. Will make a fun quilt.

Lots of interesting things to look at.

If you are not happy with it now - (when it would be relatively easy to modify or change - do you think you will be happy with it 20 years from now? (I am paraphrasing from Doreen Speckmann's book)

Like those easy fix solutions -- going to add something to those lavender eye-sores! Thanks, all.

I love this--need to organize a box for things like this--they are scattered hither and yon right now. Great idea, Judy!
