When I was busy making my Crumb Geese, I got inspired to play some more. Â I ended up with these nine blocks.
All of these blocks were made with fabric that was given to me. Â All those little scraps and pieces my blog readers have sent me are a little closer to being a quilts. Â I just love bits and pieces and am SO thankful to all of you who have sent scraps to me.
Do you recognize a fabric in the mix?
I know they are destine to be a baby quilt but I am not sure how I am going to lay them out or what I am going to do with them from here. Â Any suggestions??
My friend Michelle, from Michelle’s Romantic Tangle, Â is hosting a baby quilt linky party. Â If you’re interested in seeing other baby quilts in progress, follow this link…if you have a baby quilt you’re working on, link up! Â It sounds like fun.
If you have enough of the background that as sashing with star posts in unis (blues and/or reds) would be nice. And then a Sawtooth border.
another idea would be to set the stars on point, make some more string triangles and set them in a Goose Chase for the alternate blocks, with the yellow as the geese. Then for the outside setting triangles, make string Delectible Mountains and/or Bear’s Paw blocks with the yellow as the sky and the bear’s claws. Like you’ve said, there’s no end to what a quilter can do with strings.
The stars are wonderful! Three sashing strips, that create 9 patch corner stones. Hope Ruby is feeling better today.
I love the colors and the way they pop against that background fabric. Is that one star center made up of itty bitty squares?
Thanks for linking!
I’d vote for sashing/borders that are made of pieced black & white checkerboard, like Bonnie did. I read somewhere that both bright colors as well as black & white contrasts are attractive to infants. So all those decades of pastels in baby quilts are misguided.
These. Are. Adorable! Really nice work!
I look at all your scraps and I think, I have that, I have that one too, I have that but in yellow, I don’t have that but I WISH I did! Beautiful stars!
