A big round of thanks to both Cynthia and Kristel. Cynthia of Quilting is more fun than Housework fame organized an adoption event a few weeks ago. Regular followers of her blog and its Oh Scrap! linky party were offered the opportunity to give away one or more sets of orphan blocks to a new home for completion. Readers visited the blogs and left comments about why they would like to have/finish/complete/use the orphans. I left a couple of comments and was delighted to find out that one set of Kristel's orphan's were coming my way.I love the Bento box design and Kristel had a set of blocks that just needed assembly and quilting. As they say in quilt talk, done and done. This is all labelled, washed and ready to donate.
It was a bit windy when we took the picture so the boys each took a corner to hold it flatter. They are scheduled to be here every other week this summer so it remains to be seen what I will accomplish in between visits.
Linking up later today with Cynthia's Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework.

I have yet to make a Bento - lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I haven't made a Bento yet, either, so I'm really enjoying yours.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for orphan blocks finding a good home!
Fabulous.Great quilt and love your fabric combo!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning those blocks and finishing the quilt so quickly! It is beautiful and your helpers are doing a great job with the photography. I will be doing the event again in September so I hope you don't mind if I share your finish. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteCute! (Quiltholders and the quilt!) You did a great job getting it finished out.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on receiving the blocks and especially for finishing them up. An orphan quilt is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI too have made a Bento in the past and loved it! So glad you were able to adopt the orphan, finished is very good indeed!
ReplyDeleteThis really looks fantastic! I'm not sure why I never did get it put together, but I'm glad you've done it for me! And now it'll go to someone who can appreciate it, which is fantastic.
