Oh boy, l get into ufo's other people started but quit all the time! We at Water Oak Quilters in Lady Lake Fla. make quilts for hospitals, vets, nursing homes and other organizations using donated fabrics or purchased after fundraising. So many of our talented sewists teach newbies the ropes. In learning and demonstrating, many orphan blocks get created. Those and projects left unfinished by those leaving the community ( or passing away) are put in our UFO bin if not made into quilt tops or backs. A few of us " scrappers" love raiding the box and coming up with ways to rescue these. Our resulting quilts are often imaginative and stunning...not ugly or boring in the least. Sometimes it takes someone with a totally different view of those materials to rescue them and work them up to their potential!
