    Default scrappy "orphan" quilt

    Made this with my "orphan" blocks (discards, mistakes, trial and errors and with a stack of 5" squares I had of the same colors.) Just added some fabrics from my stash for sashing and borders in order to put all the different sizes together. The back is more of the fabrics and leftovers. Even my binding is scrappy from these fabrics. I'm glad to get it finished. Feel a feeling of accomplishment that these leftovers are used up!!! Yay!! Will go on my twin guest bed as "cover."

    It's one of the best ones I've seen for using the left over,orphans and oops. AND it's so cheerful as well. I would like to have it on my guest bed for cover as well. I love the quilting on it,too. Thanks for the sharing of this inspirational quilt. Gives me a good idea for my orphans with a whole lot of oops to use now.

    Thank you, Jitterbug! My pictures turned out sort of light.....I think too much sun in my room at that time. It is really colorful. First one that my husband ever said, "I hope you don't give that one away."

    I wouldn't have guessed these blocks were all orphans. Looks so well coordinated. Fun to look at, and such a thrifty designer you are!

    I would not have thought this was made from orphan blocks. What an excellent job you did with balancing all those leftovers.
