Another section for our Happy Scrappy Orphan Block quilt

It is hard to believe it is the end of August already, summer has flown by, has been an unusual cooler summer here in Michigan.

We had such a great time at the AQS quilt show last week, came home very inspired with many more projects I would like to work on .

I am posting the next section for our happy scrappy orphan block quilt , your quilt right now should measure 32.5 x 56.5".  It seems like my orphan blocks box  keeps growing with every project that I do.  I am hoping that when I'm done with this quilt the box also is empty

 

Today we are going to add a unit to the side, the unit that you are going to be adding should measure 12 1/2 inches  by 56 1/2 inches .   I used a variety of squares and sizes of the blocks to make my unit, if I had to cut off part of a block  to get it to measure the right size,  I did that.  I have to laugh, one of the blocks in  this section  is made out of the first  Debbie Mumm fabric,  that definitely  was a while ago.

 

The section that I'm adding again is very scrappy, blocks from 1930s reproduction through Civil War reproductions .

 

It was really hard to stop with only adding one side , your quilt should now measure 44.5" x 56.5" . For those of you that love working ahead, we soon will be adding another side unit that measures  12.5" x 56.5"  to the other side  to make our quilt 56 1/2 in.² .

 

Any questions at all, just ask. I'll be more than happy to help you. Ryquilter1@msn.com

 

 Happy Stitching,
