I absolutely love the orphan block/quilt concept and enjoy this blog. It is definately the style of my heart for quilts as I like to make do with what I have. I'm fresh out of orphans but always have the Orphan Train in the back of my mind.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867112701783092241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682469280580377915.post-35189016730799675362007-09-06T19:50:00.000-05:002007-09-06T19:50:00.000-05:00Oh Finn, this is too much fun!

Just need time to go through the many ....shame....plastic bags of "organized" chaos which is my way of assembling the certain parts of my current quilt fabric cupboard. I am hoping to dig out all my little orphan pieces...to assemble a small ...er..something of other.But so enjoy seeing what you post. Thanks for starting this ...have always wanted to do an orphan...quilt. just wish I could raid all the cartons stored in Texas...could definitely do at least a kingsized quilt...with the leftovers there! Absolutely love seeing the stuff....I have started the mile a minutes...but didn't realize to use wider strips...so it is taking forever...should have saved the "thinnies" for a string quilt. My mistake. But have about 30 finished blocks..and others to add to...when bigger.

I'm a new-ish quilter and don't have many spare blocks (I tend not to test them first and wing it as I go!) I'm working on a scrappy medallion right now that I hope to post someday when I have time (and access to the computer I share with my family). Love this idea and I'm grateful you share your time and photos. I understand if it's too hard to keep up with two blogs!KC Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852714228482734259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682469280580377915.post-53604548156339299742007-09-03T21:28:00.000-05:002007-09-03T21:28:00.000-05:00You *know* I love the orphans!

I'm just blaming it on summer.<BR/>Anyway, I LOVE seeing the photos you share, both of vintage orphans and of new projects. This string one today is awesome. I don't know how this will all play itself out, but speaking for myself -- I'm encouraged that we're reaching autumn and my activity level sh0ould be picking up accordingly. <BR/>Hugs!!
