Do you make test blocks? What do you do with them IF you decide to not proceed to a quilt, table runner, smaller item?

| Look at this intricate little block. Finished at 12 inches (I think) there is lots of tedious little pieces. Terri, from The Ladies of the Cloth, made this one. One. So many little pieces to match up. I think this would be great framed. Just like this one Linda Sue planned to frame. There are many studio shots on Facebook and You Tube illustrating how many sewists frame that one test block! |

| Isn't this a charming block? This block was featured on the Quilt Fabrication Blog during a Christmas in July Shop Hop. Using the blue and silvery white fabrics give the block a totally different look. Just look at the quilting, little snowflake/starts scattered in a curly-Q meander. Too cute. |

Here is another way to use those single blocks and/or just turn out a quick little project.
Using a churn dash block and some creative borders to enlarge to place mat size, Connie featured these recently on her blog. Connie is an Island Batik Ambassador who uses their fabric in her original designs. She offers many free patterns and tutorials. Check this one out

- Nothing like a fresh new table set, right? Using seasonal fabrics or just your favorite decor colors can perk up a view and use up lots of little pieces of left over fabric
- Find a home for your single blocks. I have one just hanging around that I might frame.
