Oh wow! I am having a ball
with all your wonderful orphan blocks! The count is 44 received with promises
of at least 12 more. I must say, I haven’t seen one that I would consider a
“reject”. Each one is truly wonderful!
I’ve started quilting a few. Here is
my friend, Christina’s (Tina to me) block with fabulous Liberty prints. Yum!
And this one from Karen (Suzie Karen to me).
Both Tina and Karen are in my
Seven Sistahs group. The other 4 (and of course me) have promised one as well.
I’d be lost without these ladies!
I think I mentioned that the
backs will be different “cheater” (printed patchwork) fabrics.
It seems fitting
since we have all been “cheated” by having to keep our distance with friends
and family.
I wanted to find a binding
fabric that would tie all these diverse blocks together and figured it would
have to be black. I found this Jo Morton fabric that I adore but I had less
than 2 yards.
So, I started rummaging and found this “perfect” fabric designed by
Judy Roche and Corienne Kramer. It really looks like it could be a virus! Judy had given it to me a while back knowing how much I love the old neon prints. I knew that Cyndi had not carried this line so I did a search and found enough on Etsy to make all the bindings.
I’m excited for this project. Keep posting the blocks as you quilt them!
ReplyDeleteThat black print is perfect. It is a bit scary looking, how fun that you found enough for this quilt.
