but it has a home..*VBS* I get the feeling that the pieces are also leftover from something else, but turned into a block. I found it years ago in an antique shop, bought it and have quilted and bound it.
Quick post today, was Nursing Home help day, plus errands, and such and the 93+ degree temp with over 100 on the heat index. I've been busy!
Wanted to remind you gals who are playing along with the Orphan Train Challenge, that I will post any of your progress pictures if you let me know you have them on your blog. You can send them to me, email, or I can 'snitch' them. Several older orphan quilts are coming to light as we begin this adventure, and that's exciting. So many ideas how to use things, and encouragement to 'go out on a limb' and try something new with odd blocks. Kathie in NJ left a comment saying she's going to play along with us, but has only 1 true orphan blocks. BUT..there are blocks she's always wanted to make, and those will become the foundation for her quilt...way to go Kathie!! I'm so excited to have you joining us! *VBS* Email me or leave a comment either play, I take anonymous you know *VBG* Bonnie has said she's like to play, but I'm not sure if she will have the time. Her life is pretty hectic. And if you want to play/work along with us, and just lay in the weeds, that's ok too! Once more, the Orphan Train Station is at http://orphantrainsfromfinn.blogspot.com/ Ebby is the head conductor..*VBS*

I have some orphan blocks, I should so join in on this ....
Great idea....Hugs ((()))
Hi Finn, I've posted about a completed orphan project on my blog. I'm sure there will be more...
I am glad you rescued these blocks and made it into a little quilt. It is just boooouuuuttttiiifullll as my girls used to say!
I hope you have it hanging on a wall to look at everyday. I would if I were you. Love little quilts .

Pretty block, Finn, and I so enjoy the pictures and descriptions of Ebby. What a good cat.
Finn, I'm not sure if the quilt I'm making qualifies as an orphan block quilt, but it will be all different blocks...just from the same fabrics! You can see what I've done so far on my blog.
I do have some orphans which I'll dig next week and see what I can do with them over the summer...
Hugs,
Carolyn
Oh you are making me want to dig to see what I have. I guess I don't have to make a bed sized quilt in order to play *s*
I am enjoying you inspiring so many quilters out in blogland to go play with those orphans/scraps...it's fun to follow the different links and see such fun stuff showing up.
