“Not sure what to call it” - using 2.5" blocks top
In my cleanup of my room I came across about 4 of these blocks. I had wanted to make something with them years ago now, but never decided on a layout. I knew I could come up with literally dozens of these if needed since they came right out of the 2.5” strips bags.
So here goes. I finally made myself sit down and decide.
I laid these out as if they were a small bargello using only 5 colors in each of the blocks.
But truthfully, all I really wanted was the white down the middle and little strips of color paralleling it. I just found this an easier way to make the blocks.
But what I was trying to do was dress up the blocks a bit.
So, naturally I turned to sashings and cornerstones.
So I had to make a simple rail fence sashing. Then I used my favorite 9 patch cornerstones.
I laid it out first on the floor trying to get a good balance of the yellows and oranges.
If you have any idea for a name for the quilt - I’d love to hear it. Please let me know in the comments what name you’d suggest.
So, here is the final top.
Here are more photos.
I did just go to my 2.5” strips bags and pulled out the colors that I was looking for. That was a very good feeling. Obviously if you used a jelly roll or a half yard bundle packs, you’d have an even more color coordinated look.
This one works for me. Because I added all those sashings and cornerstones, it did take a while once the main blocks were done.
Here is the layout.
Once again - if you have any ideas for a name for this pattern - I’d love to hear it!
Thanks so much for coming along with me on this journey!
Have a great day wherever you are reading!
