Orphan Stella
40 x 60
I finished her a few days ago and took the photo outside when it was a bit warmer. The last few days have not been "venture outside" weather.
I made the orphan block top last December when I was working with a collection of orphan blocks received from other folks over the year. I'm pretty sure all of these blocks came from the same person.
I just had to add sashing between columns and a top and bottom border and Stella was born.
I quilted her on my sewing machine with swirls in a variegated thread in colors of a sunset - the same colors in the quilt.
The binding is a solid yellow. The backing is pieced...
...with lots of butterflies and flowers.
And sew on...

REMEMBER, TREASURE, GROW, READ (my words of the year)
My husband John has been surprising me with some signs for my gardens. 😀

Brilliant colors in this one Cathy!! Nice work Hugs, Julierose
Fabulous HOT colors in that quilt photographed with the snowy background. I never stop marveling at the wonders you work with orphan blocks! And hooray for the hubby-chosen signs for the garden (spring WILL come).
This is just wonderful. So bright and very cheerful.
The garden sign sure made me laugh! Hope you are staying warm during the polar vortex. The bright colors of your orphan quilt are so cheerful and I really like your pieced back.
Stella really sings! Yep, staying inside for a couple of days. A good time to sew.
Love the vibrancy of this quilt- such a warm glow.
Wonderful colors in the quilt, and the garden sign is a treasure.

Love your husband's sense of humor! :)
