Orphan Block Top Yolanda
40 x 60
It was too windy this morning to take a pic outside.
Someone sent me fourteen 12 inch finished red and white crumb blocks framed in black. (Actually, by my definition these are slab blocks and not crumb blocks. My crumb blocks are made of very small and usually irregular shaped pieces.) Two blocks went back into the block orphanage.
All I had to do to make this top was add some 2.5 inch strips between columns and add a top and add a six inch border at top and bottom.
And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (My word of the year)

Great slab quilt--beautiful handmade card, too;))) hugs, Julierose
All the way to a quilt name starting with Y . . . what a year you have had with orphan quilts! And what a beautiful card Linda created this year.
Good way to use the blocks and I like the idea of adding the extras to the back of the quilt. This way they aren't just taking up space somewhere. Lovely card, happy stitching!
One more letter and you will be out of names for orphan quilts this year. That was a fun series to see.
Well, now that you've gotten this far, you have to do the final Z. Zoltan, perhaps? Clever way to widen the quilt.

I just love how your scraps come together to make unique and lovely quilts! I might not have thought to use that red print for the sashing, but it was perfect. I am so glad that people are sending you things you can use. I know you can't finish the year without the "Z"!
Yolanda's a pretty one! It will be interesting to see how the two leftovers will be incorporated into a future design.
