Those type of projects are fun to do and they make nice gifts too. I have the perfect spot in my kitchen for the gold and red one. Everyone on this board does amazing work. I am fascinated by everyones talent here. The pictures are so fun to look at. Thanks for sharing.

Love them C! Especially the burgundy and green one. And I would never have guessed that they weren't designed and made 'intentionally' rather than out of orphans! :-D

Those table runners are beautiful. I use orphan blocks to cover the store logo on my shopping bags. Makes them look nicer and they know that I brought them with me that way. Usually, just when I have a block that I "try" just to see if I like it or not.

You are amazing!!! I always look forward to seeing what you have created. It seems like you have something new every day and it's always so good. What do you do with all of your quilts once they are completed? Also, just out of curiosity, do you have a bottomless secret stash of fabric??? :mrgreen:

The colors are striking! I'd certainly use them well. You did a great job!

Well kind of?? I work part-time at LQS. Basically I work for fabric because I spend more than I earn....hehe.
I usually give my quilts away as gifts or donate them......I am thinking of actually selling a few just so I can earn enough to get my own long arm...but haven't taken that step to do that yet.
