Orphan blocks ready for their forever home

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. (here)
Piecefully, Joanne

  4. Congratulations 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!

  8. This 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.
