You sent me down a rabbit hole! I went to see if there were any eclipse blocks in my orphan pile. Well, the orphan pile was bigger than I thought. No eclipse blocks.
But I've been trying to finish some panels in a creative way, so I put all the orphan blocks on my design wall. Now to see if I can use any of them for a border. I love an offset panel. Some of them may work for that. I have 2 blocks that I don't know what happened. They were probably one of the disappearing blocks and I decided it was easier to remake the block. Not even sure I know what to do to fix them but may use them anyway as humility blocks. We shall see......

They really do look cute and are so easy to make!
I went on a roll, making a whole bunch of them. I didn't need them; they were just too cute to make! I had a passing through to sell them on Etsy but then I looked at the competition. EVERYONE and their dog was offering them. The prices were ridiculously low (wouldn't even cover the cost of fabric) to what might cover expenses and a modest profit (but then who would PAY that much??).
I eventually decided that mine weren't any different nor substantially better than what was being offered so I never put them up.

It's a good hole to go down. Was needed and may help me with some panel finishes.

If Suze is doing it the way I think she is, you cut one piece 6 inches bigger, and when you sew and flip, the corners miter.
I would do some of those also if you have lots of flannel!

I will try to get some photos uploaded to my computer, but here is one. I just entered this one into AQG. It is an original design of mine.
