They are the blocks you made that have blue and white diagonally placed opposite each other to make the block. You also have ones that are two different blues and others that are blue and gold. Does that make sense or did someone already explain this to you .... perhaps that stranger named "google"? Either way you say it, this is a lovely quilt and will look great in your abode!

Back in the 1950's, they were pretty popular in my mother's quilt group. Each quilter would make a block, and embroider her signature in the central white area. I'd go with a nice solid navy stripe, maybe a gold stripe or two. Or if you have strips of what little leftover fabric you do have, maybe you could combine with solid navy and gold and do 3" or so pieces of them sewn together horizontally. Just my two cents.RockWhispererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204125716550161500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-17059808879452448142015-01-14T04:26:26.883-06:002015-01-14T04:26:26.883-06:00See, I don't see "wreath", but I see...See, I don't see "wreath", but I see SNOWFLAKES. which just screams January to me.

January is good things baking, soups simmering, time for the "arts" (painting for me, quilting for you), good books, and if the weather gods permit--skiing and snowmobiling.
