Playing with block sets

Thursday after school, I had the chance to lay out some of the blocks that I found during my room rearrange.  I had forgotten about many block sets apparently.  The best surprise of the day was a set of floral log cabin blocks.  Up close the contrast between light and dark is almost lost in some of them.  It is there but harder to see than the picture shows.

The contrast in other blocks was very easy to see, like in this block.

Up close and personal, it looked like a jumbled floral log cabin disaster.  In the picture it has a definite wow factor.  My friend, Richelle, that was helping me layout blocks and take pictures was equally amazed.

My goal over the weekend it to get this together and add some borders to it.  I have some other blocks and a plan in mind.  

Have you ever worked with a set of blocks that made you say "yuck" as you laid them out, but "wow" once you were done?

Have a great sewing day!

Later,
