    At our local Lifeline store, anything half decent is skimmed off out in the back roomand doesn't even make the front of the store. What's left is crap.

    I think it would be so neat to put all of the orphan blocks together in one quilt or maybe two. Do you hand quilt? That would be a real treasure in itself. just my opinion

    Ha, no. I'm not that patient. I'm afraid they are going to fall apart to be honest.
    Anyone have any suggestions for washing them?

    Btw I weighed the bag they're in. 10 pounds. That's after I shipped 2 lbs off. They're all 6 1/2 blocks. There are probably enough for several quilts. Might be fun to do one of those double sided things.

    The reversible or (double sided) quilts are really easy to make. p.m. me if you need more info on it. I can't remember the name of my book at the moment, but will find it and give you the name. I think the author is Sharon Pederson, not sure at the moment, but that name comes to mind.
