The Black Trash Bag Method of Quilt Assembly and Design

Have you found a great piece of fabric and it really only goes with a limited number of fabrics with the right style?...from the same color ways collection.

But you only have that fabric and maybe one or two others. Well...

I found this great piece of Alexander Henry.

1. Cut it up in 5" squares
2. Organized by predominant colors
3. Determined block per row ( 7x9 )
4. Then cut 5" x 1 1/2" sashing pieces and pieced one to each 5" square.
5. Picked a few accent pieces of bright orange and light orange.
6. Now to lay it out randomly. Tweak for visual balance.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT? EASY...

Put your blocks in a large black trash bag and pull them out at random! Of course, no peeking. It will give you the best and quickest way to randomness.

Yours in the love of quilting,
