Isn't great that we are not all the same. I know that the charity group will welcome your quilts but my orphan blocks are for me! I have made and gifted so may quilts in my 67yrs that my orphan block quilts are for me to remember those past events. Or maybe I should say that, that's how I feel now. I am so looking forward to retiring and working on my quilts at my leisure and not by work projects.

Thanks for sharing. Karen

Very lovely. Isn’t it fun to use up those orphan blocks?

I just finished a quilt top with orphan blocks. I added sashing and a few other blocks to finish it and it felt good to say ‘bye-bye’ orphan blocks. :) Most of my blocks were found in donated fabric so they don’t have any meaning to me but I like your thinking Bug Lady.

Very nice job. I would like to know what the block in the top row center is called. I also have a short attention span. I get a quilt almost finished then I have to do something else. I have pulled fabric for a new quilt or 2 while searching for a back for something else.
Last year I tried to finish 2 quilts before I would allow myself to start a new one. Idid pretty good for a while. MY UFO pile is way down. I do have 5 quilts that only need bindings. I will probably bind them when they have a home.

Procrastinator, maybe--but you came up with a lovely quilt. We all have our own way of doing things and where better to express your true self than in your sewing room.

Love your sampler quilt from orphans. Great job!

I also have way too many. But, here's what I think . . . . at night when I go to bed, my sewing room is busy 'mating'. Then the next time I go in my sewing room - OMG now they have reproduced!!!!!! This solves the mystery.
