Sunday afternoon found me finishing up my Star Struck blocks and then working on the 3rd of my orphan block quilts. I have a rather chaotic mess on my worktable right now! In the middle of the table is my Star blocks which I am in the process of sewing together. On the upper right corner are still some scraps that I want to keep and cut into usable sized pieces for future scrap projects. In the upper left is fabric I have pulled from stash for the new Carol Doak BOM she recently announced. It came on the Carol Doak yahoo list as a birth announcement! She said she was pregnant with a new BOM and was about to give birth. And it is going to be a spectacular new baby! I have simply got to finish some stuff so I can spend time with the new baby!!!The rest of that stuff is what I'm using as blocks and setting strips and pieces for the orphan block quilt. Today, I hope to clear most of that off, and I'm still working on organizing my fabric. I have to buy three more drawers.
Here's my work table:
And here's the orphan block quilt as it is right now. Probably won't be like that later in the week, because I will add and change things around, but you get the idea.
Since it is raining here today, and I have the afternoon to myself, I will stay in and work on my various projects. I do need to try to finish the YTRR too! It came to a stand-still when I was cleaning and reorganizing.
Back to it NOW!!!
God bless

I love the orphan block quilts. I have a box of pieces my 10 yo granddaughter likes to arrange. This summer she is going to start sewing them together. I can't wait!!! I'm bookmarking your post to show her. :)
Mary.. gotta say my design wall looks like yours. I have many orphan blocks that need a home so I am putting together a good queen with some of them. The challenge are the fillers..you are doing great so far.
I have folded my bigger pieces and put them away till I get my swap blocks done.. orphans will be worked in stages..LOL
Rainy days are perfect for quilting.. enjoy
I can't wait to see how your orphan block quilt is going to turn out! I always love quilts from them. Have fun!
These quilts are always so interesting with all the different blocks. My cutting table is pretty buried right now too.
