I found 10 scrappy UFO blocks and the purples and greens made me enthusiastic to figure out what to do with them so....
I sewed a 9 patch then...
 |
| I cut a square of purple about an inch bigger than the 9 patch and cut that square diagonally twice to make the corner square triangles. |
 |
| Now I'm wondering if I should add some borders and make it larger |
 |
| This green and maybe another purply? |
 |
| If you want to make some of these blocks, here are some cutting instructions. The small square is 3 1/4", the borders are 1 7/8" (once sewn together you get a 6" square). The bordering triangles are made from a 7 3/8" square and then cut diagonally twice (Cut one square for each block). Randomly border each side with a contrasting triangle (the resulting block is 8 1/4"). |

Purple and green is such a lovely combination.
Looking forward to what you decide for borders.....green and purple is my most favorite combination. Love the little hour glass units formed when joining the blocks into a nine patch.
My favourite colour ..... purple!
Great idea, Sheri! I don't have any spare blocks, but I can see myself making some!!
Look forward to seeing your borders!

Oops, I meant to say "Thank you for the measurements, I'm making notes ..... not sure when I'll be stitching though!"
Thanks again,
