Serving up HUMBLE PIE(a BIG piece)and Molly's quilt

plus an apology to Molly F. This is the quilt that Molly built...and a magnificant one it is!! I posted Molly's quilt on July 28th, after receiving several emails from her, offering to share it.I promised Molly I would add the link to her blog(and YES, DAHHHH..she has one!)and I either forgot or had one of those brain hiccups where I think I've finished. She got added to the labels list, but not to the Volunteers list which is the "linking list"....baaaaad Finn!!!
I got a lovely email from her last night, thankfully she's not angry with me, just curious as to what happened. So very sorry Molly...I understand perfectly that it's great to have links back to our blogs, and how that helps others find us and enjoy our quilts. Molly, I know you don't think an apology is necessary, but it is....and I do. I hope you will continue to work with Orphan blocks as you feel inspired and share more with us...*VBS* And please, Orphan Train readers, if you can, pop over to Molly's Place and say Finn sent you and that Finn's at home eating humble pie today..*S* Thanks and hugs for all *VBS*

Orphans In a happy home.....

In a letter from Molly F., she write to tell us:
This is a quilt I made a few years ago using my orphan blocks. I used 2 1/2 inch squares to put the blocks to gether using strips to make them the appropriate size needed to fit them in. I love and buy the same tones of fabrics so all my blocks go well together. I also get bored making the same block over and over so I make single blocks alot. Arrangement of blocks is important. You should assemble the blocks in sections and use a variety of sizes and styles in each section. Also blocks with light and dark backgrounds should be taken into consideration. Be sure to give seperate these blocks into all sections of the quilt.

It's so nice to hear from across the world happy stories of orphans being loved and made part of our day to day lives. Thanks for writing Molly, and sharing your really marvelous quilt with us. Can't have too many ideas about how to make a quilt.
