Orphan blocks

I have a fascination with orphan blocks.
I love figuring out how to get them together.

I love the controlled chaos they create.
Or...
maybe you think it's not all that controlled???
 

I love giving beautiful handwork
a home.
;)

I love the motion all those lovely points give this quilt!!!
 
I hope to give this quilt top a few calming borders.....
That's ALL it needs!!!
 
Many orphans make a MARVELOUS quilt!!!!

  2. I love playing with orphan blocks (or not so orphan, but loosely related) blocks, too. Yours is going to be lovely. Can't wait to see it, with it's calming borders and quilted and bound!

  11. You do such great work with orphans! I love putting them together, too... or, I used to. Lately I have been feeling my mojo slip away. If you ever want more orphan blocks, just say the word!
