Some people don't like brown. Not me--I LOVE brown!! I think brown goes with just about anything. There are 40 of these blocks, enough for two quilts. The vintage quilt in the magazine (McCalls Vintage Quilts--Spring 2004) has what's described as a "small floral print" sashing between the blocks and as a border. I'll look in the stash again, but I don't think I have anything that will work. I'm looking forward to Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2014--but until then I need to finish some quilts. The 36 patch from 2012 is on the long arm--just waiting for me to have time to quilt it. Please see everyone's blocks at soscrappy.
But now I have to head to the field, my husband has a combine warmed up and ready for me to go.

Beautiful blocks. Finishing quilts is always a good thing. Best of luck getting last years quilt done.

I love your browns, great blocks!
I love those blocks...I my not be able to resist making some for myself!
Gotta get the crop in before anything else can be done. Right?
these will be really interesting quilts - love that scrappy look. I may have to check out this blog and follow along in 2014. Love the whole idea!
Another set of blocks I would love to call my own! Your finished quilts are going to be lovely!
Your blocks look terrific. They will make a great quilt.
I said it last week and will say it again. I LOVE this block. I think it looks great without sashing and like the secondary patterns the blocks make.
What a bout a sashing of neutral background fabric with scraps as cornerstones? Wonderful blocks!
Great blocks. I not really a brown lover but I know it works in so many places.
I am just starting to use brown more and I think it adds just the right touch to most any quilt. Your blocks are looking great.
