I should have titled this post "Throwback Thursday" because it's about a quilt I made last year and didn't blog about. I'd found a box of HSTs I wanted to do something with, so I put them up on the design wall and had a play day. You know I like those!
The first thing I did was rearrange them into a more random looking design. Next I pulled out a length of fabric I had bought for something and then decided I didn't like it.
Any fabric you don't like almost always looks better when you cut it up into smaller pieces. (That's your tip for today!) I cut out some squares and rectangles and worked them into my design then used the rest of it for borders.
What a difference!

Wow, what an amazing difference those squares and rectangles made! I love HST designs, but I really love how you changed this design up. Hope your brother-in-law loved his quilt!
I know what you mean about fabrics , last yr I had made blocks that I thought was just down right ugly & everyone was like don't you toss those! 🤣they were right,the ugly just blended right in lol your quilt is beautiful!
