An African Adventure

I tackled another RESCUE effort this week!!!

;)

(rescuing orphan blocks

from a lonely life in the drawer)

I started with this VERY large orphan "block"

measuring 31"x32".

Much bigger than an orphan block...

but NOT big enough for a quilt.

This was sent to me along with

other various orphans.

 

What WAS I going to do with this big

BEGINNING of a quilt?

I found this mustard colored sheet at the thrift store.

I added squares from my square drawers...

different sizes...

Pieced into the mustard sheet.

 

I like the different sized squares....

AND...

I LOVE the FUN of finding

those colors ALREADY cut and READY to go

in my drawers!!!!

 

There were also some other orphans

that got to be included into this quilt!

 

I didn't know what to do with those

TWO black lines in the middle there.

I'm adding some applique squares to break it up a bit.

;)

 

I might be done with this quilt top..

OR...

I might add another border!

 

Today, though, I need to get ready for house guests!!!

 

They'll be IN MY SEWING room!

Eeek!!!!

One guest is a missionary from Africa.

This quilt kind of "goes" with the THEME of my week!

Isn't that FUN???

 

Have a GREAT weekend!
