but not quite 'all the live long day' *VBS* I confess to having taken some play time with orphan blocks. Yes, the UFOs are still on the front burner, but play is good!
I have both of these going at the same time, using orphan blocks and parts from Em's box. It's interesting with orphan blocks quilts, that while you can put "everything" in any one of them, sometimes they grow towards "flavor intense". I could tell almost immediately that these two were going to be opposite of each other. I tend to favor the brighter one,but since the other wants to be "that way", I will oblige but keep using reds. Thanksgiving was nice, and I enjoyed the company of my kids and their spouses. With football in the background, it was lively around here and the food was good. The weather co-operated and no one had travel difficulty. I was tired yesterday, and a nap was needed, but I am climbing back up to speed today...time to get busy!
And since the high loft batt arrived via Turkey transport, I can now turn these 20 blocks into a snuggle quilt. It will be a Christmas gift, and is one of my 5 UFOs to finish. Catch up with you later!

Love them, Finn. Oh, your orphan quilts are my favorites! You just plain have such a knack with them.
I love them too. I love how your orphan quilts always turn out so wonderfully. It's like you made those orphan blocks to fit the quilt. Great job friend. Hugs
I've yet to make an orphan quilt, but I certainly have a lot of blocks large and small that I could use! You've inspired me. ~karen
You go girl! I'm going to try to finish my UFO's before getting into my orphan block box but it's getting hard to resist!
So happy to see my orphans finding a home. They look so happy.
I love your orphan blocks layout. It's amazing how many blocks we all accumulate.
Today I am going to stop playing with my Christmas decorations and finish something...
But playing in Orphan blocks sure looks like fun and I do have an entire bag full of them....
