I decided I would Try Something New - and put these blocks together in a Quilt-as-You-Go method. After designing a quilt, a Bee Friend had sewn tags onto those blocks to remind her the order of her rows and columns. I tried the same thing with the backs of my blocks.
The setting blocks of quarter-square triangles and the fabric for the back of the quilt all came out of my stash.
I am really liking the red and white.
I love the way the triangles are making patterns with the patched blocks.
Stars.
On-Point Squares.
And I have an interesting plan for the edges.
On another note - I went to an estate sale in my neighborhood and purchased these two flour sacks for a couple dollars each.
One of them has this intriguing note on it:
Has anybody had any experience with items like this?
