Orphan blocks
 

Do you have some quilt blocks that are "orphans" (not part of a quilt and you have only made one of them). I have three I made recently I thought you'd like to see.

First is an Evening Star quilt block:

Next up, the Arizona block:

And finally, the cat block from quilting.about.com:

Do you have any "orphans"? I'd love to see them!

Nice ones!

Very nice!

i like then nice job

you did a great job

Great blocks, love the kitty.

What great blocks! Were they samples? They're fabulous! I've always wanted to make that kitty cat block!

Burchquilts, I'm a fairly new quilter and just wanted to practice my cutting, sewing, and matching seams. Also, learning how to make HST's, etc. Eventually I may incorporate them all into a quilt, but for now I'm having fun trying different block patterns and techniques.

Those are beautiful. Just the love he cat block. I don't have any orphan blocks, at least I don't think I do.

Very nice! I love the cat! :thumbup:

Lovely blocks. I suggest you add a border or two to make a candle mat, or make two more like the first and add sashing and a border or two for a table runner. They also make awesome place mats. I just love orphan blocks. Yours are too cute to waste... finish them with batting and backs and use them all over the house! ;o)

I have a lot of orphan blocks. I used to have an internet quilt site in which I taught basic quilting skills.

very nice i just made a orphan block into a block quilted it then sewed on a bag i got turned out great

I've used some of my orphan blocks for pot holders/ hot pads. My kids love them. I'm thinking of making some for door prizes and a bazaar. My oldest daughter thought they were to pretty to use. If she doesn't use them her son will use them for snack mats.

They look great! :)
