I actually don't have any already made but I have two shoeboxes full of 1 1/2" strips that could easily become log cabin blocks...Susan J Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706646375716992138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-3620507267040977912007-07-08T19:43:00.000-07:002007-07-08T19:43:00.000-07:00It's looking wonderful and you've inspired us all ...It's looking wonderful and you've inspired us all to start looking a new way at our orphan blocks.

You could do a series of border strips (like you already have two of on the quilt) to build the top up to queen size. Your trial blocks could even go in the corners as cornerstones.<BR/><BR/>Love your Nebraska sunflowers!Magpie Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930036522719103192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-46189384731077828492007-07-05T12:39:00.000-07:002007-07-05T12:39:00.000-07:00Really neat quilt Elaine!
