I am a recipient of others good intentions by receiving orphan projects at my church quilt ministry. If it were my choice I would kindly turn them down. Orphan blocks have been orphaned for a reason, a part turned or cut wrong, no more fabric to repair it. Cut at a strange size needing to be upsized. Someone waiting to see their donation made into something beautiful with no matching the colors. I can make from scratch faster than figuring how to incorporate the wonky donations.
Please understand I appreciate others generosity. They have good intentions, just no understanding of what they are asking.
Estate sales are a different story. Purchasing from a former quilter has garnered many wonderful goodies.
