Some nice modern solids maybe?

I emailed you but wanted to make sure you got it so here I am again. The pattern is by Sophie of Block Lotto. It comes in various sizes and I did 12", 6", and 4" blocks. You can get the pattern here: https://payhip.com/b/WguOdqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11119485151688536210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-56367440919015253642016-10-03T09:13:14.767+13:002016-10-03T09:13:14.767+13:00You are going to have fun with this!!

Sounds like you have a plan for that. Since I'm finding that scrappy seems to be my preferred mode, some of the older fabrics are finding homes in those projects. Others I've been looking for ways to mix them in with newer fabrics and see how that goes. Some of them are ending up as pieced backs.

I have the book open here as I type this out and now, if I am on the right track, you have re-kindled my longing. The selection of fabrics you have there would be just right and you could strip, or cut in any way, the piece already stitched.<br />Yes, I do collect fabric - as you well know - and have have two huge wire baskets full of older wonderful Hoffman prints, what to do with those? I have a large one full of Japanese style fabrics, same sort of fabrics you are working with, they are very well dated, but no plans as yet for what to make with them, nor the box of rejects and spare parts. Could I also resort to Madness??Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.com
