Get It Done!

Every so often I'd pull out some leftover blocks hoping to come up with a plan that would launch me into putting them together. 


It all started back in 2018 when I had some extra bordered 9-patch blocks after I had made . . .


. . .  Eagle Medallion where I included them in the 2nd round of that quilt.


That same year I made these blocks but wasn't motivated to do anything with them either.


Fast forward to two months ago when I finally got the urge and put them up on my new design wall.


I had used mostly large scale prints and set the blocks with 1" sashing.


I can't tell you how many times I shuffled them around.

I had one rogue block on the lower right above.

I arranged them all in diagonal rows alternating 9-patches with log cabin-style blocks and I'm calling the finished top "Get It Done!".

Have a great week!

  2. You could either "get it done" or "get it done and create a masterpiece." I'd say you've accomplished the latter!

  3. Its amazing how you turned your rogue blocks into a wonderful finish. The red sashing and border surrounded the blocks tying them together, although I don't see much red in the blocks. Congrats on Getting it Done.

  6. What a fantastic quilt! I love the name and the story behind it. I think 90% of my quilts should be called "JUST Get it Done". I think your blocks are very happy now!

  8. I really like that block. It has all kinds of scrap potential! “Socially distancing” them with sashing gives each block room to show off, and the result is wonderful!
