Orphan Tumbling Blocks

This little orphan just got quilted last week and bound today. It isn't anything fancy but it's DONE! I won this little top at Annual Meeting a few years back. Chalk another off the list woohoo!

This is another orphan quilt I won at annual meeting a few years ago and finally quilted it this past weekend. I completed the binding tonight while waiting for Jolynn to get out of basketball practice.

The interesting thing about this quilt is that I donated most of the blocks. All of the quarter square triangles are mine. They make up the top, middle, and bottom rows. They were an experiment for my Autumn Row quilt that I didn't like.

I have two others I've won over the years that need quilted. I also won one that I'll never use because it is too ugly!

30's Orphan

This is a 30's twin that is properly called an "Orphan Quilt". Ladies donate quilt blocks to Annual Meeting that they have no desire to put into a quilt. These poor little orphan blocks are then sorted by colors and ladies stay up all night long assembling them into beautiful quilts. You get your name in the drawing for every block you donate and every hour you work on the quilts. I won this one at Annual Meeting close to five years ago. You saw a part of it from a photo taken at Mom's back in October. I had to completely take it apart and square it all up. I just finished quilting it -- just traditional stitch in the ditch. My friend Deb bound it for me in trade for quilting two of her attic window Christmas wallhangings.
