I managed to put together a quilt top for charity. These blocks have lived with me for many years. It was a group project where everyone brought in a fat quarter of his/her ugliest fabric. We swapped these fabrics and everyone made the same block (or mostly the same). It was a great way to experiment with color. Many used the Joen Wolfrum Color Tool . I made several blocks because I thought it was a great exercise. Besides - I didn't want any of the fabric I received to remain in my stash.
I had enough blocks, that I sorted them, The first 12 blocks were mostly dark and country fabrics, I had the perfect sashing and border fabric in my stash. Can you spot which fabrics were deemed the ugly fabric in the blocks.
I plan to get these together this week and work on a few more UFOs.
Does anyone recognize the block they made?

Oh, this looks like a fun block to make. What a great way to use up and hide that ugly fabric that we all have in our stash. Hope your ankle gets better REALLY soon.
What an eclectic assortment! Interesting to see different interpretations (fabric placement). Sometimes the simplest projects linger for a very long time.
I hope your ankle heals quickly!
Ouch! I feel your pain, as I did that last May! In my own yard, luckily, right off the deck. Did the ice and elevating, but after 5 days the swelling didn't go down, went to the doctor and he said it was broken, but had started healing. And I had started walking on it too! Hate bum ankles.
It only slowed me down for 2 days for quilting tho, even tho it was my left. Good luck healing, and don't push it if still hurts! Get better!
Ankles can take a long time to heal... hope that you are up and about again. I took a spill in our iced up driveway in December on my bad knee which I was most worried about but it was my elbow that bugged me for a few weeks in the end. Looking forward to spring already!
