So nice of you to make quilts for the nursing home. I know they will be appreciated. Love your quilt!

Love your idea !! :-D
I may try that with some of my extras ! Thank you for sharing ! :-) |
We call them orphan blocks and it looks like yours have found a lovely home.

The last time I had extra blocks, I had made a S&W. I put the extra blocks on the back in a floral bouquet. Some flowers were loosing their petals. But nothing in scraps drawer.

Wow...great ideas. I have so many "extra" blocks that I make to try a new technique and there's so much I can do with them to give them a new home. Thanks everyone.
|
Great idea!

Our LQS gathers orphan blocks and a group of quilters will put them together for charity quilts.

Mine become "back art". I use them on the back of the quilt, sometimes as the label or part of the label. Sometimes I have enough to do a whole row. Sometimes I intentionally use up the scraps making blocks for the back, especially if I'm using a novelty print that I probably won't use again.
