There were 21 blocks in the bag. The construction technique is one I am not familiar with, so making more wasn’t really an option, but 20 blocks was enough to make a baby quilt.
A quick trim squared them up to 7″.
The blocks are interesting, but not enough on their own. What was needed was sashing, something dramatic, to complete them.
I settled on 2-1/2″ sashing with coordinating colors in the cornerstones.
And matching binding.
Look around your sewing space and see if you have a bag of possibilities. Sashing might be just the thing you need to help you succeed in a little destashing.
That’s a really cool little quilt. Nice work Deanna.
Turned out very cute.
What a fun little quilt! The sashing really makes those blocks shine. I thought the picture with things laid out in a wonky manner was how you would be putting the quilt together. Wonky sashing would be great, too!
Very cute little quilt!! Hugs,
Well, that turned out nice! And I love the quilting you did on it.
I knew you’d figure out something. It’s Flying geese, Eleanor Burns’ way. This looks great!
Very nice little quilt. I’ve got some old 9-patch blocks that I’m thinking of sashing out to 10 or 11 inches and then making bowl cozies with them.
Those were uncut flying geese blocks.
Love this quilt- great use of orphan blocks
