Adopted blocks

Hello again, I hope you've all been enjoying the lovely weather.
My friend Katy Jones had some blocks made but no time to make them into a quilt - so I adopted them -
 
and chose a plain fabric for sashing, borders, binding and backing - I decided to keep it plain as there were so many colours in the blocks, and I think they look great -


 Over the next few weeks I'll put the instructions for the blocks on this blog - this week I can tell you that finished quilt measures 71" x 58". I used 6 metres of plain fabric (42" wide) for the backing, binding, borders and sashing.
The dies Katy used are
 657610  http://www.sizzix.co.uk/product/657610/sizzix-bigz-die-half-square-triangles-3-finished-square
657606 http://www.sizzix.co.uk/product/657606/sizzix-bigz-die-square-2-1-2-finished-3-unfinished
657620 http://www.sizzix.co.uk/product/657620/sizzix-bigz-l-die-triangle-3-1-8-h-x-5-1-2-w-unfinished
657624 http://www.sizzix.co.uk/product/657624/sizzix-bigz-l-die-rectangle-2-1-2-x-5-finished-3-x-5-1-2-unfinished
657627 http://www.sizzix.co.uk/product/657627/sizzix-bigz-l-die-trapezoid-3-x-5-1-2-unfinished
These dies all work together to create 10" finished blocks.
You could make this a scrappy  quilt or you could choose co-ordinating fabrics - it will look good whichever way you choose.
So next week the instructions will begin - in the meantime have fun sewing or just enjoying the sunshine.
