Could you border the smaller blocks? There must be some way to make them play nicely together.
I was thinking like Janet, maybe border the smaller blocks in red. Your blue blocks afre looking good.
I agree with Janet. I think maybe you could put a border on the smaller blocks to make all of them the same size. I love the blocks and they would make a beautiful quilt.
Too bad for the smaller blocks. I'm with Janet too. If the difference is too small to add a decent border, how about bunching them up in the middle to make a medallion? I don't know how many you have so I'm just saying. Good luck with the red work. I know you will come up with something. Love the blue blocks. ;^)
I agree; just border the smaller blocks. Both your blue blocks are pretty, but the smaller one is my favorite. I love how your placement of fabrics makes the center block seem to be 'floating' inside the outer 'ribbon'. ---"Love"
Good for you to take an oldie and finish it! I like the idea of adding borders. Can’t wait to see how it turns out
My first thought was also to border the smaller redwork blocks but I love Chantal's idea of grouping a set of them too! Maybe creating one larger central medallion block and then surrounding that with your chain blocks and the other redwork blocks? That is what's so great about quilting, nothing's ever the "wrong size", they are just new design opportunities!
Lots of great recommendations! Adding a small border to make the the right size and then make them the Medallion and a border to stop all and then add to it would make it pretty!
Of course if you do not want to do that work, make a pillow cover, or a computer cover out of them.
Nice work on the BOM from Pat!
I was thinking the same as Janet O about whether bordering the smaller blocks would work in your design somehow. Also, if you have background fabric that is the same, you could just add to the blocks.
I was thinking that you could make the smaller blocks a bit bigger by adding a tiny sashing with little red cornerstones and it might make a wonderful unique design in with the bigger blocks?!
Ohhh I just read Chantal's comment... great idea... group the smaller blocks into a centre medallion and then put the larger blocks and red chain blocks around the medallion... we are full of great ideas!!
I've been thinging about using that setting for my Blue work blocks. It is a really nice set for embroidered blocks!
