Colleen H's 7 ways to crazy blocks

 Ideas to use the blocks

• Deconstruct some of the blocks to build around one block as a center piece.
• Add borders to blocks to get all to the same size
• Use as scattered blocks in a modern quilt with lots of negative space
• Cut up and/or add to to make wonky blocks

Ideas to finish the piece:

• Heavier quilting to stabilize and avoid sagging of silk
• Some hand quilting on the left wing to capture similiar texture as right
• Could use silk thread for sheen
• Dense background quilting with more minimal on plants
• More feather type quilting on the bird
• Take off thick binding and replace with cotton facing
