Orphan Block Top Xavier

Orphan Block Top Xavier
40 x 60

The 6.5 inch Star centers are the orphan blocks. 

All of the blocks were given to me. Most of them are crumb blocks.  I think they came from several people. I looked through the 6.5 inch orphan blocks for any that had pink because I knew I was going  to use a piece of mauve? dusty pink? for the star points. 

I used some green and blue scraps for the backgrounds because most of the blocks had green and/or blue in addition to pink. 

And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)

Dec. 16 - I received a package in the mail. I cried when I opened it and found enough wildflower seeds to finish sowing the area I blogged about on Dec. 9.  It said Merry Christmas from Julie. Bless her generous and thoughtful heart! 

I also received a package with some fabric and a few scraps from Dawn. Bless her heart too!   

I am so very thankful to both ladies.

X marks the star in this case. (Will you get to Y and Z by December 31? Silly question. Of course you will.)
