    Hi Everyone! I finally did something with most of the 'orphan blocks' I've been hanging on to since I started quilting.... I call this quilt ' Home for Orphans' it' 76x84, I saw a pattern for an adorable appliqued quilt top in the latest quilt mag, so I decided to applique the blocks in a random pattern then quilt each block on the machine.. Thanks for looking!

    home for orphans

    That is a good way to at least get some use of orphan blocks.

    I have enough orphans to make a few quilts myself. Thanks for the nudge! =)

    Great idea. I've been saving my orphans for the same reason.
