muse monday: autumn block exchange

Today for Muse Monday, I’d like to ask for your inspiration. The following are blocks from my guild’s 2008 autumn block exchange. It’s about that time of year for some good autumn projects so what would you do with the blocks below? More about the blocks here.

(The unfinished one on the left is my unfortunate basket. I pieced it wrong and didn’t have time to fix it before the exchange deadline. Luckily all the others turned out OK and I had enough good blocks to exchange. I’ll have to finish piecing it before I turn them into something though.)
So, any ideas?

  1. Hi there!

    I just have to say how much I love your blog!
    I would probably throw some colourful fall fabrics into the mix, they would go nicely together with your basket block. Setting the blocks on point using such triangles would work.

  2. hey laura!

    i don't know how big you wanna go- how bout putting the log cain in the center, with the four pieced blocks around it, then fill the empty corners with another log cabin that is half muslin and the other half scrappy fall colors.

    it'll be a monkey wrench looking design set into a 9patch layout

    clear as mud?

  3. I would either make a table runner from them, or use each one in a mini quilt…then, I'd hang the mini quilts together for a small coordinated collection.
