Last week I mailed the Jan. Blocks to Nann. I love the Feb. Block idea. Thank you Robin. I made 3 to donate this month. Happy...

I just mailed my 1 block from Jan. to Nann.  I have 2 blocks made for this month but haven’t got the photo done yet. Will post to register them in a few days I hope. Looking forward to seeing the framed blocks  in a quilt. :)Carol

Is it wrong to make orphans just to make another block?  The Sandy Gervais fabric started as a 6.5″ Jane block.  I like the X even though I thought it would look more like a butterfly.  The other is fabric my Mom gave me with some Sandy Grevais scrap bag fabric and I had to make the b/w 4 patch to get an orphan.  Well, the b/w strip was a leftover.  I tend to just cut what I need.  This is going to make a very fun quilt.  Good luck...

I had wanted to do more of these blocks, but the majority of my orphans are larger.  So I dug up 5 and added scraps from my scrap buckets.  They were fun to make.   I would like to donate them to the pot.  I really don’t need more UFO tops right now!  ...

Here are my six February orphan blocks. Half triangle blocks (from failed flying geese and as orphans in their own right) and pinwheels dominate. Hope these are okay....

Spent the afternoon digging through my orphan blocks and sewing them into scrap blocks.  It has been a long time since I dug through them – found lots of treasures I’d forgotten about, although most too big for this project.  Here are 4 from me for the drawing, if they pass the test....

Thanks, Robin, for a great idea.  These were such fun! I have nine for the drawing but I’ll probably make a batch for myself.  That orphan blocks box must have belonged to Pandora . ....

Well, these were fun! I’ve finished four scrap-eater blocks. They rather go together in pairs because I used some bird fabric scraps from Spoonflower to generate two, and then just sort of semi-tried to make the other two look OK. I hope they’ll do....

  Apparently, I don’t own a lot of orphan blocks – and the ones I do own, are quite large.  In all my various bits and pieces, I could only really find these two small blocks which were small enough to form the foundation of a couple of February blocks. Actually, I’m not too surprised, because I tend to make a lot of scrap blocks up, using bits and pieces which haven’t been successful. And, too, I haven’t...

Hi Nann – three blocks going in the post from me, tomorrow. Hopefully won’t take too long to cross the Atlantic!

I love scrappy.  Found these fun to make.  Here are three for this...

Today I mailed my 4 January blocks to Nann. I will keep the tracking number and receipt until I hear that they arrive safely.
