It's amazing to see the talent that this supporter has.
I look forward to seeing what you do with your orphan blocks soon.

Here's a link to a series that she created on how she makes orphan blocks work in quilts. She made 5 different posts that she links to pertaining to the quilts she's made from orphans. Hope this help you.

What a wonderful organization! End of life time is so incredibly difficult for patients and their families. This is such a nice way to give them all some extra love and honor.
