remember these winter solstice blocks?
yeah I am loving making them all in blues
for a quilt for ME
a lap quilt
but how to set them so I know
when I am "done"?
Pat is making a huge quilt with 25 blocks
and some different sizes
I just want quick and easy
so I decided to play in the blue squares
and sew them into 6 square strips
to see if a scrappy border will frame them
to me they dont stand out at all
it is all just mish mosh
so I played again and said ok
maybe alternate 36 patches with them
and Dunkin walked away
as if to say Mom I am disappointed in you
see those adorable polka dot legs? love them
he just wanted another distraction
so I guess it is back the the
so called "drawing board" for these
I will keep making them every Wed I guess
until I can figure something out
to frame them
I am thinking they each need to stand out
on their own
any ideas my friends???
Perhaps a black and white small print fabric around them all? I always think that black and white prints are good framers...to me, they make the blocks stand out from each other...
ReplyDeleteI think your blocks are really looking lovely...hugs Julierose
Oh that is a tough one.
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at them and I see what you mean, sashing may be just the thing. I liked Julies idea but I don't have any small print black and white in my stash. I was thinking about our Farm quilt.
