Estate sale blocks
#72
Thanks for all the comments! I still have 27 of these blocks to do something with. However, I would like to use them to make something different. I don't have enough of the pink and blue to make a duplicate, and some of the block are a slightly different size. I have no idea, of course what the original quilter intended to do with them. I'm considering taking them apart and using them in something entirely different.
I would love to have some suggestions??

I used the pattern, confusion, to put together some vintage blocks. I will look for the pattern if you are interested. The blocks are set in with triangle pieces light and dark to make a bigger block. Then when you put them together there are light and dark pathways through the design. You can find this on Alex Anderson's quilts l#qlt-622 designer Debbie Bowld. I just googled confusion quilt.

I'm thinking about taking them apart and using white muslin to make HST's out of them to use in a different pattern. May be awhile before I get them put back together! I love the feedsack blocks! There are several good, but simple patterns that would look great with the HST's. I'd like to keep to a traditional pattern.
