12 blocks sitting in a row.........

Here is the big reveal! I was thinking I would not have enough lights in this quilt (as I ran out from the stash I had), but I think it didn't really need it now I see them all together like this!

Now the dilemma of how on earth will I put them together! I would LOVE suggestions on this. Helen has already finished hers completely and Lynda has the top completed. Talk about 2 gorgeous quilts!

The thing with my quilt is that I used what I had of 2 ranges.... Chocolat by 3 Sisters and Rhubarb and Ginger from Blackbird Designs. As I made this from FQ's I don't have much left at all.

But, I just had a bit of a hunt and found these. 14 Fq's of Rhubarb and Ginger:

AND, a couple of metres of the purple and 1 mtr of the brown.....


AND, 16 fq's of Chocolat! So much for thinking I didn't have ANY lights left!



I was thinking:
1. As I have a lot of the Rhubarb and Ginger left, maybe I could leave that to make something completely out of that!
2. Use the purple from the Rhubarb and Ginger for the borders? I wont use all of it though.
3. Was thinking of joining them altogether with flying geese. I could use the lights from the Chocolat? With purple border?
4. Maybe joined with Flying Geese with a Piano Keys border with a mix of everything?
5. Try to purchase some more of what will work?
I would LOVE some help here....

Lynda said...

The blocks look wonderful together. Flying Geese borders sound a great idea. Maybe put in a little purple containment border around the outside before your final outer border if you decide in Piano Keys.

All your blocks look great and I also think No 4 is a good idea.
