    I am beginning to get a stack of quilt block that were left overs from other projects. I keep thinking I will do something with them, but don't have a clue as to what that will be. Are there quilts that are a mesh of left over blocks, or am I the only person who has this weird problem. I hate to take them apart, but they keep growing and staring at me, any ideas would be appreciated.

    You sure have a way with words. I know it is not funny to you, but it sure brightened my day. Remember this quilt as the one that created a lot of smiles and laughter.

    I make charity quilts from my orphan blocks.

    charity quilts....I knew one of you lovely ladies would come up with a wonderful idea. Sometimes I look at those blocks and wonder if they are growing by themselves.
    thanks.

    Yes, I have cut squares wrong, sewed them in strips and only then did I discover they were the wrong size. Had to drive 65 miles to buy material to finish the 1st quilt as well as extra to make a throw out of the smaller squares. But, I learned a valueable lesson .... pay attention to what I am doing. lol

    Could you do kind of a stack and whack and make a crazy quilt with the smaller blocks?
