One of the groups I belong to recently decided to experiment with adding narrow strips to make a design more interesting. We used orphan blocks for practice. Unfortunately, I didn’t take “before” pictures, but here are the modified blocks. You can click on any block for a closer look.
Our next project is to take the blocks below (made in a previous challenge)
and make them into a finished project, either as they are or modified in any way we want.
Stay tuned!

What a fun exercise! I like the concept of doing this to a traditional blocks. Makes them so interesting! I adore skinny inserts, though I don’t often do them. I also like your improv strippy blocks. They’re so much more interesting than “plain” straight-sewn strips. You’re creating a great-looking quilt!
Thanks, Linda! We created this group to try new things together, and we’re enjoying it!
Wow adding the narrow strips makes quite the difference! Cool experiment!
Thanks! We enjoyed it 😀
Looks like a lot of fun
Yes, and we may yet get a product out of it!
