Add sashings & you could turn these coordinating ones into small pillows, or sew them all together for a lap quilt. Play with them once you get a few done to see what placement you like. Practice will give you more confident & I think you're making great progress.

I am not sure Grinster. I got it as a reminence (sp) at Joannes so there was no info. They do have this on bolts in different colors - I will take a look next time I go. :)

Finally - the green one

Ok, one more for today. The picture does not do it justice. I had to do another after that attempt at the green! :)

i think you're doing a great job. your blocks are pretty & just think what you are learning! and what you could DO with what you made! one block IS enough unless you really really like it! keep up the great work!

Being new to quilting I like to also make blocks before I start on a new project to see how I like it and how it goes together for me. I do pick fabrics that compliment each other and when I'm done I finish it just like you would a quilt. I have made blocks from 8" to 15" and keep some and give the others to my sister. We hang them in our sewing rooms.

I too get bored making the same block over and over. At least if I am using the same block pattern, the fabrics are different, usually. Right now I'm finishing up a quilt made from pieced circles. Each circle is 8 diamond pieced sections (11 pieces each) and 16 pie shaped pieced sections (8 pieces each). That's 216 pieces in each circle! I've 2 diamonds left to make. Then add background and put it all together.

I did that once-- made about 25 blocks using not all the same colors or fabrics. Then laid them out, rejecting any that just stuck out too much (actually, I removed all of the red/green ones that were from christmas fabric). I used a black print sashing all around and it turned out beautiful! So, you have the beginnings of a sampler quilt.
