Leftovers

You know I couldn’t leave the postage stamp leftovers alone! I started thinking I could use them to make a small version of this quilt.

The problem is, the leftover blocks have definite light and dark areas.

Hmmm…. Maybe I should just put them together like this.

But that doesn’t really scratch the itch the stripy quilt above gives.

I’m going to have to think about this some more.

Have a great day!

  1. I really like the “gray space” between what you have already pieced. Like a sashing in between your light and darks.

  2. How about using the mixed strip in the backing for the quilt? You’ll figure out something, though, and it will look fabulous!

  3. Hmmm I really like your inspiration quilt too – and your patches… what if you used a solid color like the inspiration – but used a lighter color of it next to the dark blocks and a darker shade of it by the light blocks?
