My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...

Wall of shame
So here are the sampler blocks and I am pondering how to connect them. I can do white or an assortment of whites and off whites or I can do one color family or I can do a riotous cacophony of interspersed blocks. Any thoughts?
Since you have some white and some creams, try horizontal sashing in white and vertical in cream. Use Cathi's idea of plain bright squares at the intersections.
I love the brightness of those blocks!! I'd be tempted to set them with some plain bright squares.

ReplyDeleteI think it is a wonderful wall!! I love all the bright and cheerfulness...gorgeous! I recently put together a bunch of unrelated blocks, and love it.
