Quilters take Manhattan Event. She mentioned she had two orphan blocks that she
thought just had to come and live with me, I had no idea they would be this cool!
I have them up on my wall so I can peak at them every so often.
Waiting to see if anything starts coming to mind for what I should do with them....
For now, I want to make a pattern from them to make more..
I feel like they should be appliqued to something...
Perhaps a start of something bigger and rounder...
Maybe they will be the start and I can work off them,
maybe...
Oh, It's nice to day dream...
I'll wait for them to speak to me.
Thank You Karen, for inspiring me.
Yep, they're at the perfect home now. You'll come up with something fantabulous for sure.
ReplyDeleteThey look like some of the Merideth Clark blocks that she has created template sets for. I think you can see them on the Material Obsession blog too.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love your orphan blocks. I'm sure you will be inspired by them!
ReplyDelete(and now I have that daydream song in my head - and I only know one line of it. ha)
These are wonderful. It never ceases to amaze me how intricate and complicated these old blocks are. Our modern day speed and pre-cuts have hindered us from taking the time required to make one of these beauties. Can't wait to see where your inspriation takes you :).
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous blocks. Perfect for a dream come true.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful, and I am sure you will come up with something to do with them that marries their legacy with your amazing vision.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Love those blocks! The are just like my brights, black and white whirly gig quilt!! Gotta love them!!
ReplyDeleteswoon!
ReplyDeleteI would make a pair of round pillows with them being the focal fabric on each!!!
ReplyDeleteoooh yum, those circles sure are speaking to me! How big are they?
ReplyDeleteThose quilt blocks are awesome! I love them...be sure to let us know what happens to them.
