Long Shot - Orphan Block Strip Quilt
I know this is a long shot but...
I know I have seen a picture of a quilt incorporating strips and orphan blocks. The maker described the process as sewing up the strip sets to the size needed to match the block then the strip sets were sewn together to make a quilt similar to a Gypsy Wife. A much simpler process than that for a Gypsy Wife.
Would anyone be able to locate this blog or picture? I've googled "orphan block strip quilt" to no avail. Thanks for the help.

Try just “orphan block quilt” image search on yahoo.com. I found lots of orphan block quilts. If you need help finding the patterns for the image, look for small words on the right or bottom of the image of your quilt in your head and click on the little words. A little more initial work than “googling” but I have better luck with it. Good Luck.
