What to do with blocks that are not all the same size?

Wonky them! I recieved the blocks a couple of years ago from my Guild. my "presidents' " blocks made from a black and white 2 1/2" strip. Since no two quilters will ever have the same sized block, I just though the "wonky" block would work just fine. I had a great time playing with this quilt.

Nice job. I have a similar problem with some of mine. Will be using this idea! Thanks.

Wonderful!! It is the greatest idea and you'd never know what the plan was! I love how you used the white background.
|
It is really a great idea! Wow. Thanks for posting. I mean, so simple, but so clever.

Great job! I think the wonky setting is a great solution for exchange blocks. Your quilt is beautiful.
|

looks fabulous!
|
Good idea... :)
|
Perfect solution and a beautiful result!
|
Wonderful quilt!!!!!
|
Can you tell me if you did the straight grain of fabric with the original blocks or with the finished side. I have a lot of 100 yr old blocks that slightly vary in size and quality of piecing. I will end up losing triangle points no matter what I do. This is really close but a better idea than what I was planning on doing. Thank you so much.

What a great way to balance all those off-sized blocks. I'll have to add that to my bag of tricks. Love your sashing and background for the blocks. Thanks for inspiring and sharing.
|
What a great idea. The quilt looks great
|
Beautiful!
|
The quilt came out very cool. I love it. Great job.
|
Great, clever idea.
|
Clever, clever, clever.

Both were cut "on grain". If you are concerned about the quality of your blocks, perhaps you should put some stabilizer On them to hold their shape. Sandy |
Beautiful, great idea.
|
That was the best solution. Way to go!
|
Great idea!!!!!
|

Wonky is great! Your quilt is terrific!

Love what you did!

I love it!! Great idea :)

Love that idea. I bet it would work with orphan blocks too. Kind of a scrappy sampler.
|
OOOOO! Good call! The quilt is perfection, in its wonky kinda way. :D
