For many years, I have spent Sunday afternoons with a friend, sewing Linus quilts. We have a stash of 'stuff' - leftovers, donations, why-did-I-buy-this, and all stations in between. Naturally, at the moment our meetings are suspended. I have half the stash, arbitrarily consigned, to carry on sewing.
What do you do with a pile of fabric which has been randomly selected - a few gems such as a FQ with only a little square cut out, quite a bit of green and sh*t brown, hardly any blue, some acid yellow, a few scraps of red, a bit of purple, and a few neutrals?
I started with a plain 9-patch, and progressed through variations all based on a 3x3 grid. After I'd made 18 blocks, I decided to repeat each block so that I had pairs, one with a light background, one with a dark background. They will become a quilt, but I thought it might be of interest to look at these pairs and see how changing the value placement changes the whole look of a block. Not all of them have worked but that is interesting too. Why don't they work? I have photographed them and they can be seen at the link below. Feel free to like or dislike them, I won't be offended.
