Chaos Introspection
 

Years ago I made eight "Hole-in-the-Barn-Door" blocks. I didn't like how they turned out, and they have been sitting in my orphan-block drawer for years. I decided to make them into disappearing blocks by cutting them up and rearranging them. I liked them better that way.

I wanted to put them together in a quilt, but I needed one more block for the center. I took a "Wacky Face" class at my guild. I decided that the face I made would make a good center for my disappearing blocks.

I just finished the quilt and named it Chaos Introspection. That poor girl in the middle of the quilt is trying to make sense of all the chaos surrounding her. LOL!

The face block is very nice!

Your first quilt was nice, but the remake is fabulous.

Cool quilt! I would never have thought of cutting the original bl9cks and rearranging them that way.

What a great solution for blocks you were feeling "meh" about! I love your finish - so creative!

well done!
I used to send orphan blocks to a friend in New Hampshire, but recently I've been repourposeing them into my have a hug hearts. very satisfying :)

I hope you put that in a show someplace for everyone to enjoy the story ( and the quilt!)

Great job Jenn and Kalama with your repurposing!!!

Jenn -- that quilt is a blue ribbon winner I suspect. I hope you enter it in a show somewhere, as Quiltmom2 suggested!

A very creative repurposing of blocks. Your story made me smile and i love the result! You are very creative!

That is a GREAT quilt!. I love the "cut" blocks. Nice job on the center block/face too. Projects like this that feed creativity are my favorite.
