This photo is a tiny block I made a couple of weeks ago. It’s 5 inches finished size. It’s from a monthly program hosted by designer Janeen van Niekirk at quiltartdesign.com

I’ve got two other big projects in work as well as a few that just need binding and labels to finish.

    Made 18 of these 6" blocks in a class a few years ago. Trying to figure out what to finally do with them to get them out of thr UFO bin 😄

      I like crumb blocks a lot! I have an old quilt from an aunt from the 1970s made like this. It’s a throw size quilt and the maker obviously used some deconstructed clothes. It’s challenging to use odd numbers of blocks and 16 six inch blocks make a small quilt. With sashing and borders you could end up with a larger finish. You could also use the blocks as centers of sawtooth stars and get a larger quilt. Table toppers or runners are another good option. I’m sure when the time is right you will make the right decision on the finished result!
