There are many different ideas for using polaroid quilt blocks, but being the stubborn kinda person I am, I was wanting to do something special and different for my polaroid blocks. I was originally thinking of something rainbow-errific, but Jane has already done the rainbow solids, so what else could I do?!
Rainbow scrappy. In a log cabin fashion. Great for using up scraps, although I don’t have very many strips at all, especially in the range of colours I’ll be needing. So this will be a long term project unless anyone has some strips they’re wanting to donate, haha! And remember my rainbow stack of crosshatch fabrics??
I’m using them to border my blocks. I already had this red Sketch, and literally had just enough to border this block. I did also cheat slightly and cut a few strips off a couple of fat eighths + just so I could get this one done.
As you can see, they’re not going to be textbook log cabins with the varying width of strips, but nothing over 2″. My grand plan is to off-set the polaroid blocks differently in each colour, and have them in this layout:
Although now that I’m looking at them all laid out like this, I’m tempted to get the orange/yellow Haystack Madrona Road print so that pink one isn’t so out of place… Hmmm…

Alyce! How much of the Madrona road do you need for the borders? I have some of the MR graphite haystacks left over that I’d be happy to send you!

These are too cute! I really love the scrappiness of the blocks and the pure, saturated color. I think you should get the other haystack print to add to your gorgeous stack. The larger scale crosshatch next to the smaller is kind of a fun detail. I’m totally fabric enabling, aren’t I? 😉
Gina says
I love your scrappy blocks; they are so fun!! I don’ t really have strips of fabric but I have lots of pieces big enough to be cut into strips and would be happy to send some your way!!
