I decided to layout my estate sale blocks and see how I want to place the colors for the rainbow scrap challenge. I had made my own soul searching quilt in 2018. Hazel had her own take on the design.
candy chains blocks
It is the first round of borders that makes these blocks stand out. I made the scrappy border last week for square, play.
The first row of soul searching has been sewn together. I did have a bit of trimming. Each block is 24 1/2 x 28 1/2. That took some head scratching to trim something that large.
