It's A Top! Orphan Jethro

It's a top!
Orphan Jethro

"Orphans" has been the theme in my sewing space in September and October. I've accumulated quite a few orphan blocks over the last few years so decided to try to put a lot of them together for comfort quilts for kids.  All of the orphan quilt tops have been getting names like hurricanes. I'm hoping to maybe get halfway through the alphabet before the end of October. But I'm also hoping to get some tops quilted since I have a new roll of batting sitting here. But I'm also hoping to get the gardens put to bed. But I'm also hoping...


All the pieces and parts came to me with some assembly required so I did not have to do a bunch of thinking to put this one together. 

Sometimes there is no time for thinking.

And sew on...

Orphan Jethro is adorable! I started a similar "I Spy" one with smaller jars awhile ago. Yours is a reminder that I need to finish mine too. I am hoping that your husband is doing better.

The jars are so effective against the dark blue sashing. Lovely flimsy!

Your orphan finishes are inspirational. Great job! This one is fun!!

You've been busy canning!

Oh, gorgeous!
And reminds me that my SIL once made my youngest daughter a quilt using the jar pattern - but she made it a "Bug Jar" rather than a canning jar quilt since my girl was seriously interested in bugs at the time!

The Jethro Jars look very interesting. And fun, an eye spy quilt indeed.
