A Finish!

Orphan Block Quilt
It's also a donation quilt probably going to Lifting Hands International via the Give Back Box
40 x 56

Last year I dug into my overflowing box of orphan blocks and made several quilt tops.

For this one I pulled out mostly warm colors and blacks. 

Then I made several rows out of them. 

I quilted it with swirls in a sunny variegated thread-- oranges, reds, yellows.

The binding came out of the leftover binding box - lots of sunny yellows. And the backing is also warm colors. 

And sew on...

Besides the cool design, I am amazed that your orphan blocks all worked in similar colors. The backing fabric is a complement to the front.

What a lovely quilt! Great warm colours, each row so different. Can’t imagine having all those those orphan blocks stashed away and then to have the ability to create such a gorgeous sunny quilt.

Yowzer! Some little kid is going to be thrilled to get this quilt! It does not look like orphan blocks but well designed and color coordinated. Great job!
