Blocks of Mystery's Past

I really have nothing to show for the last week.

I finally sat down at my machine this morning and thought

I would just chain stitch through some Dresden blades...

some easie peasie mindless kind of stuff to do while 

still sipping on my first cup of tea.

About 10 minutes into the process I discovered that

I didn't have any thread in my machine.

So, I got up and stepped away from the machine!

I obviously needed that second cup of tea!

No progress before work today...

but all was not lost... I still got the benefit of sewing therapy.

I got to thinking about my BOM ghosts of mystery's past.

And if you are like me and didn't purchase the 

finishing kit that went along with it...

then, that fabric is probably long gone by now.

Here is a quilt that fits that example.
Finished way after the deadline.

I had gotten ambitious and came up with a setting for the blocks.

I totally winged it... trying to avoid the math part.
I should have taken notes for my future benefit.

I remember that I used leftovers from the blocks to make the piano key border.

Now that I  am in the BOM Rehab...

I might just need to start addressing setting solutions soon!

How about you?

Do you remember Eventide? Several people joined Thelma
of Cupcake n Daisies and made this quilt. I am looking at this and wondering if this pattern
has potential as a setting other blocks? .
I think those hourglass blocks might have good universal attributes.
How would you approach this?
