I would either leave them as "comfy" or else jazz them up some way - not sure about cutting them up into something else. I would save that lovely background fabric for something more planned, and use a mish-mash of lights for background/light side of the log cabin.<br /><br />Every time I offer my opinion, someone says something totally to the contrary and the "contrary" suggestion turns out to be fantastic! So don't pay attention to me!

I seem to be using this technique....<br /><br />But, my background fabrics are 90% of the time a mis-mash of colors, but in the same family.<br /><br />For example, I will use all different kinds of white on whites for one quilt.<br /><br />Or, if my background was "red", then I would use a whole bunch of similar "reds".<br /><br />I rarely ever have enough of one kind of fabric to make an entire quilt with it. :-)<br /><br />RosaRosa Robichaudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09560896454332246512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821947181250411848.post-32235820340220793502013-09-07T12:22:50.279-07:002013-09-07T12:22:50.279-07:00This is what I would do, NOT cut any of your block...This is what I would do, NOT cut any of your block, use the light background and make nine patch bit blocks with them and alternate them with a big background block. OR: sort your strips from now on if light and dark and sew logcabins with them in which you sew diagonally dark and light parts. You can make tons of different quilts with such blocks aswell! But I would go always for the light backgroundfabric as it brings some excitement in the quilt. The other one youhave blends in with the rest of the fabrics and don't make the blocks stand out. Hope this helps a bit! Love your different strips!Craftluverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562333934164395062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821947181250411848.post-59275432658837239902013-09-07T11:37:30.635-07:002013-09-07T11:37:30.635-07:00I agree with the rest - don't cut them up - th...I agree with the rest - don't cut them up - they are fabulous as they are!!tichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019505158749052705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821947181250411848.post-36989574548811409252013-09-07T09:14:19.087-07:002013-09-07T09:14:19.087-07:00LOOOOOVE the blocks!!

It was really a stunner. The centers from made fabric made the quilt. Almost like stained glass in a random pattern.

Here's another idea for u- why not set three scrap squares with one background square n set them on point to make heart blocks? Have fun!

I like the background you have for them. In your first picture, you have 3 of the blocks laid out across the bottom of the picture, almost like flying geese. Those look kinda cool that way.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392533321876710743noreply@blogger.com
