First, thanks for all the suggestions for what to do with my plethora of Asian squares. Lot of good ideas. Stay tuned to see what happens with all those squares.
I had planned to go with a down-sized version of the Shadow of the Bear quilt so continued making eight uneven log cabin (ULC) blocks with the larger dark side in the same style that I had made the eight larger light side ones -- using 1-1/2" strips. I laid them out on the "design bed" -- note to Ace Assistant, we need to hang the design wall SOON -- and felt they really overpowered the delicate shadow blocks.
SO, I thought about using the 13 shadow blocks in a quilt on their own, alternating the blocks with plain squares, and try to find a way to use the ULC blocks without having to make ANY MORE (can you sense I'm kinda tired of that process).
Then I looked at the photo I had taken on the bed ...
It ain't half bad! But what would I do with the other five shadow blocks? And Heaven help me if I have to make any more ULC blocks.
Tomorrow I will try the shadow blocks with an alternate fabric (if I can find one) and let you know what I decide.
I like that! The light side of your log cabins makes a great frame around the center. I went back to see what comments you had gotten about the squares from yesterday, and I like that one from Susie's Scraps that combines the friendship stars with the four in nine patch blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour photo is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat you have now is cool looking. I agree with Diann, the dark makes a nice frame for all the light blocks. But you are the one that has to be happy with it. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with the Asian squares.
