Since there is so much going around on the web these days about orphan blocks, I thought it might be a good idea to glance into my bin to see what might be there. To my surprise, there is actually more than what I thought.The Mariner’s Compass and lighthouse blocks (bottom of photo) will become a tote bag.
The rest, well, I can’t find any inspiration with them for now. I’ll hang them up on my design wall and see what I can do with them (I am determined).
Visit http://orphantrainsfromfinn.blogspot.com/ to see what is going on with orphan blocks and you will have loads of inspiration after one visit.
Speaking of inspiration, thank you Froggie for your compliment. I have such fun with my quilting and when I started this blog, my wish was to inspire folks to have fun with their quilting too. My feeling is that if you have fun, then inspiration comes along very quickly.
Have a great day!
Great blocks for a tote bag! I have very few orphans blocks. I am not sure if that is good or bad...
ReplyDeleteYou have a real mixture there Rose Marie, don't think I'm going to be much help though.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see what will come out of this.
ReplyDeleteI love the little lighthouse blocks. They are just great. They will make a very cute little bag :))
ReplyDeleteI think you need to put orphan blocks up on a design was for a week or two and just keep looking at them before making any real decisions - LOL
You have some very pretty orphans.
ReplyDeleteThose orphan blocks are great fun. I think this will make a wonderful quilt. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to hear someone else share what they do with their "orphans". I thought, for awhile, I was the only one crazy enough to save the pieces of blocks and stray blocks that I do. Thanks for your inspiration and thanks for all your comments about marking. It is SOOO helpful to get other people's opinions and experiences.
