More orphan blocks

Good Afternoon,

Just returned from a week of spending time with family on vacation, thought it was time to get caught up on the blog. Today we will add another section to our happy scrappy orphan block Quilt.

I used
1 -  12 inch block
5 - 6 inch blocks
1 - 5 inch block
 2 - 3 inch blocks and a couple of filler strips.



Whatever you chose , you're finished unit needs to measure 12.5 x 32.5"




After you finish your unit you will add it to the top of what we have been working on so far. Your unit will now measure 32.5" x 56.5".  So easy and so much fun to use up the orphan blocks.




 If you're thinking, I don't have any three-inch blocks or I'm short 12 inch blocks, and you want to make a couple, simple block patterns are provided here.

The block pattern as well as foundation patterns can be printed off , there are  a variety of blocks that are really easy to put together.

Until next time, happy stitching,
Rosemary
