Besides the two already-assembled quilt tops<\/a>, my grandma had a collection of matching quilt blocks. I turned them into a small quilt (my first!) last Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
One possible layout. A single block is outlined in red. There were also some individual white squares that I assume were meant to be turned into additional coordinating blocks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The winning layout, although the white border wasn’t incorporated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There weren’t that many blocks, though, only enough to make a lap quilt. Neither of the layouts I tried seemed particularly appealing (at first). I settled on the second since it wouldn’t require making additional pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Sewn together and testing out border options. The seams in the blocks, between the yellow and white squares, didn’t always line up. I spent a lot of time when sewing the blocks together rearranging to minimize mismatch between yellow\/white seams.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
