New Quilt started
 

Finally finished piecing and squaring all the blocks on my next project. Cathedral by Villa Rosa Designs. Can't decide if I want to mix up the blocks randomly or if arranging them by like a prism would look better.

What would you do?


Also, I can't find it in myself to part with the squaring up scraps! There's got to be a use for them....maybe in my themed art quilt. Trying to figure out how to make a 3-D jellyfish...seems like these scraps would be a cool embellishment for coral.

What a wonderful quilt this will make. I don't have a suggestion about how to lay it out. Maybe make the blocks and then play with placement. I often take a picture of a layout and look at it on the computer, it helps

lay them out on a design wall and see what comes to you :)

The scraps are pretty. I might put them in a clear glass jar and just look at them--at least until you think of another use for them.

I think I'd follow the colors of a rainbow for the layout. As far as the scraps, I can't blame you for wanting to use those too. Found myself in the same predicament a few days ago and decided to use Mod Podge to glue them onto an empty round oatmeal box...wanted a special place to store more of the same. Good luck!

When I look at your skinny scraps, I see kelp flowing in the water, in different colors. Lovely colors!!

I did this for 3d jellyfish on a wall quilt: take the clearest bridal illusion, or one with a tint with some glitz to it, form your top bulb of the jellyfish body and stuff those pretty color strips into the body part, let a few hang out as the tentacles.

I save my teeny scraps in a bag and use them for stuffing in pillows. :)

Great blocks. Will be fun waiting to see how you arrange them. For the string scraps. You could wind them around cloths lone rope & zigzag together to make either hot pads or fabric bowls & baskets out of them. The coloring of your scraps, they wpuld be beautiful.

I'm thinking I'd put a block in the center and radiate out in gradient 'colors' - IF you have enough blocks to do that. (much like your colors in your skinnies are grouped) Can you do a couple of layouts and post pics?
I have nothing for you on the skinnies! I toss mine without hesitation :)
