Some found blocks.....

Digging around in one of my boxes of fabrics looking for what I don't know now, I found a pile of blocks that I did eons ago.  I totally forgot all about these blocks, but it has to be at least 20 years ago back when my living room was in these colors.   

There were 14 blocks. 

If I laid them out like this, I would need to make two more blocks. 

I could lay them out like this and then only have one blocks to make.

But that was too odd shape wise. 

Why oh why did I make 14 blocks?

I really don't want to make anymore of these blocks anyways.  

So, I decided to eliminate two blocks and go with the 12 blocks.  The blocks measured out 12 1/2" unfinished.  

So I ran to the store to see what I could find to finish this quilt top and this is what I came up with.  

As I was putting the pink sashing on, I now discovered why I made 14 blocks.  Two of my blocks were too small, so I made two extras so that all of them were 12 1/2" unfinished.  I would really have been up a creek if I  only had 12 and two of them were too small.  Of course, the two I pulled out originally were my least favorite, but now I had to use them and eliminate a couple nice ones.  

Anyways, pink sashing is on.  

Then I attached the dark teal, skinny border. 

Last is my lighter teal, print border which I bought enough for binding, too.  

I now have another completed quilt top and another very old UFO completed.  Feels good to finish up old projects.  

I could make quilt tops all day long if I didn't have to make the blocks!  

Now to find a good backing for this one and then it goes on the to-be-quilted pile.  

There are the two blocks that didn't make the grade which  may just go into a charity quilt.  We'll see.  

I, also, try to make sure I cut and make my bindings when I make my quilt tops so that I am ready to go once it is quilted.

Onto the next project!
