    Now I'm inspired to do something with my orphan blocks other than give them away at yard sale

    ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! That's just exactly what I love to do - take odd-size blocks from here and there and other projects, size them to make them fit and put them together. I call them my "Puzzle Quilts" and they are such fun because it's not someone else's pattern, I can use my own imagination and solve the problem of fitting. Your quilt is gorgeous, and shows YOUR creativity and ability to solve a problem, even a little one. I'm waxing philosophical here, but I think solving a problem really feelss good!!

    I hope you think it's interesting.
    Not just interesting - WONDERFUL - you did a great job of using orphans, I'm sure it was lots of work, and you did it sooo well :wink: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
