Retiredteach....excellent finish and...well done on using up orphan blocks. If I ever have any orphans, I give to the church ladies... Lol..
OK...have fun with sis!!
I have some fabrics leftover from my vintage quilt (which I just finished top today) so I'm going to make a 2nd quilt for donation. Not sure what yet but I'm lookin at patterns and sizes to use it all up...

That is a great use of orphan blocks. Great finish. I have such a hard time on buying fabric. I bought some but for a project yesterday. I do not buy cute fabric right now. Too tempting and I have plenty at home. I did go crazy at the free table at a guild meeting yesterday
I am making a quilt for a graduation present. I had the graduate over to decide on binding and we found some from my stash. Also, I will make the backing from stash.

I am doing my penance for buying the fabric mentioned above. I let myself get roped into making a dragon out of “minky” for my SIL birthday next month. I love the feel of “minky”, but making stuffed animals with it is a whole new skill set. I will post pictures when it is finished. Wish me luck. 😳

Retiredteacher: Nice use of scraps and donated blocks, love the design of strips as the way to use them. It came out lovely.
madamekelley: Please do post pics, I'm excited to see this dragon,I can only imagine how adorable it will be done in minky, and can imagine it will be a whole new skill set learned. I sew with minky for backing, but only during the summer months (I live in Maine) when I can cut and shake it out outside. I will usually use the birthing method when I do sew with minky for less mess at the sewing machine, and on the floor!! But agree with you and many others, love the feel.

Teen-great find on fabric! Looks like there was plenty. You even have a remnant.
Madamekelly-I’ll be interested to see a minky dragon. (My phone wanted to change that to ‘kinky’ dragon!)
Ok-enjoy your visit.
Darcy-I went overboard on the free yarn at my knit group. A woman brought in several tubs of yarn for us. She is down-sizing to an RV from a big house & really had to cull her collection. She was sad, but wanted it used by people who appreciate it & will donate items made with it in our area.
