I got these blocks from a Collaborative Quilt swap. 2 friends dropped out, so I got their blocks. this is a most of the blocks I have. Where do I start? this makes my head spin just thinking about it.
What if... you made fabric to fill in? What if you made a medallion style and filled out around it.... What if you used these for borders? what it you grouped them into a unique giant 9 patch? What if you sew a bunch together and cut them again? what if you....
Listen to your instinct... stare at it for a few days and let it tell you... follow your gut!
process your ideas, think of as many things as you can before you make a decision to make the "same old quilt"...
How can you make a quilt that is truly unique to you?
Ditto what V says. And I would start by trying to find sections or rows that you can sew together, perhaps with some fill-in blocks or fabric. I love these type of quilts. You're inspiring me to get my orphan blocks out!
Thank you Victoria and Nifty Quilts. Victoria, you are always thinking. You are the BEST. I am going to get out of this rut. Ya'll are so helpful. Now, off to play

What wonderful ideas. I need to be reminded to ask myself what if more often. You have the beginnings of a really fun project here.
I hope to take Friday as a 15 minute play day. Wish me luck.
