There were suggestions to go with the blue or the yellow (mostly the yellow), a better silhouette for the applique cat (which I'm definitely going to use on a future quilt!), ideas about adding a piano key border or to use the littler string blocks as squares in a disappearing nine patch....all of them ideas that I never in a million years would have thought of on my own.
Angie suggested using the blue and yellow to make hourglass blocks. That seemed like a good way to get myself out of this mess, even though I'd never tried an hourglass block before, so I tried it this afternoon.
Did everyone but me know the hourglass blocks would make a star?!
That works beautifully, looks great. Jane
ReplyDeleteWow! Wonderful solution!
ReplyDeleteLove the way it's turning out! Many of us seem to be working on blue and yellow these days! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I like it much better like that. Hour Glass blocks are great fillers... bet you use them again some day!

Love the solution you chose. Like the sound of the Disappearing 9Patch too. Isn't it wonderful when quilters share ideas and inspirations :)
ReplyDeleteThe hourglass blocks look great and I love the star effect! That was a great suggestion. Isn't it great how many people can come up with different ideas about the same blocks and are all so willing to share their ideas.
