Since the blue block (September) wasn't as symmetrical as the others, I figured that if I made four of them and put them in the corners, everything would balance out. I got two of them made, then stalled when I got side-tracked with finishing Long Time Gone and On Ringo Lake.
So, getting back to work, I cut some pieces,
and taped a model block to the wall so I wouldn't get confused,
and made a third block (pretend you don't notice that I lost one of the light squares and had to replace it with a almost-close-enough square since I couldn't locate any more of that particular fabric)
and then a fourth one.
They made wonderful leader/enders as I continued to pursue some holiday sewing.
Somebody's getting a new lunchbag for Christmas!
Linking with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday. Come see all the fun!
Gayle, that is a great idea to use those blocks for the corners! I put mine on opposite sides, facing opposite directions, so that made me feel better. :) It always feels good to make progress!
ReplyDeleteOh, those would lo ok good for corners! Can't wait to see your top!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, neat looking blocks.
ReplyDeleteWell is that not a brilliant idea! Does that mean a quilt top will soon be finished?
ReplyDeleteAny sewing is good sewing.
ReplyDeletePretty blocks, they will look good at corners!
ReplyDeleteVery smart to use four of the asymmetrical blocks! That should balance everything out very nicely. Cute lunch bag, too :)
ReplyDeleteI didn’t notice one square was different until I read about it! Good solution for the corners.
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate it when a piece of fabric goes missing? I have to admit that it's happened to me several times. I had an applique piece disappear only to fall out of my iron a year later--lol! I love the blocks and your make-do piece looks fine.
