| All these in one fabulous box! (Plus strips to left side) |
A very big box arrived from Quiltdiva Julie with all these gorgeous solid colors jam packed ready for color sorting.
Also in the mail was a squishy from Quiltdiva Julie of blocks that were strips of low volume prints, wonderful ones. I fooled around with them along with some fabric she sent separately. In my head, I could see a burnt red orange working with these blocks. In the huge box of solids and blender fabric, there were 4 different kinds of that fabric- meant to be!
I folded two blocks with the color fabric in the middle. I decided to sew two blocks together. With the wide strips at the bottom right sides together, I cut them diagonally to make two sets of blocks. I inserted a 1 1/2" stripe of the burnt orange as the diagonal. I did a bunch of layouts, but then made 4 more blocks out of extra fabric she sent to make the layout of my choice. Next step, webbing the whole thing with more burnt orange around it for a 1st border.

THIS makes me so very happy - those blocks were dead boring and you found a way to make them work! Fun to see the different options - I like the one you chose the best.
I love taking blocks and inserting strips into them to make them more interesting. Good job.
its amazing how adding that pop of color brings those blocks to life!! Way to go - and totally... meant to be!
