Framing the Gingham blocks

Gingham was one of the sets of blocks that were part of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2020.  I have 20 of them made so far, and I'm pretty sure I will make more for RSC21 so that the quilt will be larger.


Originally these were 10.5" blocks, but then I decided to frame each one to make them 12.5" instead.  I don't want a sashing between these, but if I butted them up against each other then I had all the white sections meeting.  So the frames solve that problem.  I cut 1.5" strips for the frames in a similar color to match each block.  There are mostly blue and green blocks left to frame.


There are only 7 left to frame now and hopefully that will be done before New Years.

  1. Nice, crisp color contrast in your blocks. The bonus: the frames use more stash!

  3. Very vivid and bright blocks! RSC projects are always some of my favorite. Good luck getting the rest framed this month. Have a very Merry Christmas.
