When I was assembling my top, there was one small sock that hid until the end. I put it in sideways, just because it was being ornery. Somebody pointed out that the "sets" (one big and two small socks) are squares, also, and could be turned any which way.
So I was thinking: if these socks are "lost", why are they marching along, all lined up? If there's anybody who hasn't assembled their top, you could really individualize this quilt by making the socks look like they just came out of the laundry! (Too late for me).
Just a thought I thought I'd put out there.

Lost Socks
pattern can be found in the book:
Swap Guide Lines
100% Cotton Prewashed fabric
brushed cotton acceptable, please no heavy flannel.
Backgrounds are to be cream/beige of a primitive look...
No white on white or white on cream, avoid "painted" fabrics...
Socks to be homespun, country, primitive types (plaids, stripes, checks and graphics)
NO NOVELTIES - NO BRIGHTS.
Blocks maybe hand or machine appliques. If using fusables, please window pane the fusable. All methods should remove sock fabric behind toes and cuffs.
Do not trim blocks
One "set" of blocks = 2 small blocks and 1 large sock block.
All blocks should be in the same direction as the book. Please use your book for reference.
Do not sign your blocks!
