When I got home and started looking through it, I found these:
So, it appears someone was making a snowball quilt out of these. Now for where I need help. Here is a pic of all the precut blocks according to colors.
There are 196 squares of one print(far left in pic) and 306 squares of the assorted colors. I assume the 196 are for every other row with the others between, but I am not sure if they planned on using the other colors randomly or in a set pattern. Or, maybe there weren't going to be all snowballs (tho with all the tiny 1 in pieces, it would appear so). Any one have any ideas? All I know is I am thrilled to have what appears to be all to make a complete quilt top for only 6.95!!A quilters day doesn't get much better than this!
I haven't got a CLUE! But it sure looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal. I wish we had a shop like that near me. Or, maybe I don't -- I need to use up some of my stuff! I'm not sure I'd do a quilt with only snowballs. Usually there is a block in between. Maybe do some snowballs and then make 4 patches with some of the bigger blocks. (but, do the math to make sure it will work...) That's a pretty small snowball now that I think about it. Have fun playing with it. Maybe spend some time at The Quilters Cache in the 6" block section...
ReplyDeletewow! how wonderful. all the cutting done. I will stay tuned to see what ya come up with.Thanks for sharing,Amy
ReplyDeleteVery cool and what a stupendous deal!! Good luck with it!
ReplyDeleteThis post struck a chord. I pulled out a UFO a few months ago and couldn't remember how it went together. I knew the pattern was in a book, but not which one. So there I sat all evening, going through every quilting book in the bookcase, until I found the pattern. Now, the book is stored on the shelf with the UFO. I didn't start on it after all, but at least I'll know what I was doing when I do! I need to scan the patterns out of the books and store them with the fabric or UFO they are meant to go with.
