This is the last of our Christmas blocks for our guild project. The pattern was called, for no discernible reason, pigs in a blanket. It did say, however, that it was called poinsettia when made in Christmas colors. We are encouraged to have the top finished for our next meeting.
My original plan for putting the blocks together was to alternate them with another block. Actually, one of the blocks we were supposed to make, but repeated 15 times. I made the extra blocks, got them all laid out, and then I really didn't like it. It was too busy. So, now I have 15 identical blocks that I don't need for this project. But I've already got a plan for them, so it's all good.
There are a total of 16 blocks for the quilt. I really don't want to just do a 4 x 4 layout. I've come up with a layout that I think might work.
The plan is to sew the four blocks in the center together and sew a thin dark border around them. The setting triangles will be a light colored fabric. The corners will also be filled in with a light background print fabric. Maybe a border around that, I'm not sure.
