It's a top!
Orphan Cora
42 x 42
Another way to use orphan blocks is in a medallion quilt. Someone gave me the Carpenter's Star 18 inch block I used for the center.
I added four borders (3.5 inches) around in log cabin style. And I also added some 3 inch finished Nine Patches I have had around for a long time. A long time ago I used to swap them several times a year and although I've used them in many quilts I still have a small bin of them.
And sew on...

Lovely; its inspiring to see how you put disparate parts together and come up with a cohesive satisfying whole.

Oh! I love blues and purples together! Gorgeous!
Orphan Cora is a beauty!
What will we do when we used up all those mini-9's? LOL! Love the setting and the gentian-blue colorway.
The gifted centre block made an excellent focus point for your Medallion Quilt top. Super colours.
Beautiful colors! I've never made a medallion quilt...at least not yet.
Great idea and finish! Love how it all worked together.
Hello Cora, aren't you a pretty thing!
the combinations blend very well together,it turned out to be a beauty quilt
Eighteen-inch block! That's monstrous! Love that you paired it with purple in a log cabin style. Awesome job! ;^)
She's a beauty! I love the colour work on this one!
