September is hurrying toward us and I need some ideas for the last blocks ...

I have 14 blocks so far and am going to make a 4 x 4 quilt so need at least TWO more blocks.

The more blocks you have made, the more choice you have with the composition of your quilt.

You can do a 3x3, 3x4 or 4x4 ...

There's nothing to stop you reproducing a block you particularly like or omitting one you dont (CoughCourthouse steps!!!) The more you have made, the more options you have!

But right now I need ideas for the last Two (or is it Three blocks ?) of this BOM

Over to you .....

Oh dear... I think I've missed one.  I've only got 13.   :(
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

What about  disappearing pinwheel? The number of combinations for that are nearly as  bad many as log cabins.
Make a pinwheel, disappear it and then choose your own layout?
That may even be how my churn dash came about...just sayin.  :angel:

Hi all, haven't really been around recently. Life getting in the way, I am afraid. Just wanted to add an idea or two. I love Wrenkins idea of some sort of pinwheel. What about a friendship star block?

If you see me with a seam ripper, now is not a good time

Ooooo friendship block is one of my favourites.  :loveit:



I thought these two were nice and one even has a friendship star within it.  :)

Could go super fancy with tiny squares and do an Indian corn block

Sorry Syrinx We've had no pictorial blocks so far and I think the girls would Lynch me if I went down the teeny tiny squares route!

C'mon I really need two or three good, finishing at 12" block ideas here

Ive been looking into that one @Sandra  and the DPW @wrenkins  but they dont finish at 12"

A single  MW does but its a big ugly thing on its own.

Its more difficult than you think, wot wiv me being Maffs challenged and all

I'm a bit late in this conversation but I would like to suggest a pinwheel if some sort as a lot of designs seem to use them

ps Friendship star would be interesting as well -
