I have way too many scrap/orphan block projects in the works right now. I decided I need to get some of these finished before I can start anything new.
These scrappy blocks have been on my mind lately. They were made from a bunch of 2" HSTs that we received in the mail. There are not enough blocks to make a traditional quilt so I am going to have to get create with how I lay them out.
I did finally decide to use this cream background fabric. My plan is to lay them out in some a symmetrical way. Once I picked my background, I knew the blocks were really going to look a bit dull.
I played with a lot of colors, but I settled on framing each block in this cornflower blue. These strips will make a 1" frame. I think that might be a bit too bit so I might trim them down a tiny bit and make them 3/4" or less. Most of the blocks are now completed. Hopefully this week I can get them set into the background fabric and one scrap quilt top will be finished!
