What cute scrap busters. Wish I was a little less OCD and could do scrappies!

Wow! What a great idea to take orphan blocks for the center of your log cabin blocks. The quilts look great and you sure put some smiles on their faces.

I think you are very creative! Both quilts are super nice. Who knows, they may become quilters also.

You sure gave me a good idea to use my orphan squares. These are great quilts. You did an awesome job making the twins happy. I have twin gg and they love quilts.

No specific colours just oh so random. The recipients were delighted.

Like the idea of starting with an orphan block and building around that. I have a large box of orphans that have been given to me. Good way to put them to use. What wonderful ideas we all have on the Board!
