Shadow Box Help
Just recently inherited about 20 shadow box quilt blocks. Needless to say no other fabric. These have a white background some are square, rectangular both vertical & sideways. Any ideas on how to set them into a quilt. I'll never be able to match the white. These are about 8 years old.

You need to sort by size and measure. Once you have dimensions then you can see if the sides are divisible by some factor so they fit together or if you have to add some sashing to them. Whites are white so you could add something and it could be a subtle shading factor or make it intentional design element.

Yes, I agree with Tartan. I watch the Illusion Block tutorial.

Yes, some of the blocks are just this shape, I Spy type. Some are squares & some are horizantal (sp). I think the idea was to use different widths of sashing and make them all the same size. She used a WOW fabric. I will have to use a plain white fabric as I think another WOW would probably really clash
