I am trying to decide what to do with these 12″ black and white blocks I made a while ago. Sampler quilts are not my forte… Perhaps making three separate bags using two blocks for each bag. Or three table runners. Maybe I should use a yellow and black print fabric as sashing.
If I turn these into a quilt, it will be scrappy since every block has different fabrics. Scrappy quilts present a challenge for me, although these are better because only two colors are involved. I suppose harmony plays a big part on my designs…
These blocks were part of a block of the month project. The other blocks are stashed somewhere, as I did not like them at the time. I wonder if I should hunt for them.
I will await your ideas before I work with them. Hurry up! 🙂
Sampler quilts are always a challenge. If you can find a wonderful border fabric that ties the blocks together (black/white/pop)it will bring continuity to your quilt. Add a pop with a red/black/white and sash with cornerstones in red. Any color with your black/white sampler blocks will do – you just need to find the pop. Can't wait to see what you come up with…
… and I can't wait to come to Thimbles and Threads to pick up the fabric that will tie it all together!
