Back in October I started playing with some orphan blocks and a panel.... here ... Not all of the blocks were my Orphans - but all of the blocks needed some love.
So I measured and pieced, and measured some more - and Ta Da!
It is now a Complete finish!!
( for me, one of my QOV partners in crime will bind it because they are awesome)
And I even took a photo all by myself on a windy blustery ... but! Sunny day!!
I really didn't want to do custom quilting on this one - I really wanted to get it in the line to be finished.. and then get back to my client quilts. So I hemmed and Hawed - and I really like the way this Pantograph turned out on it. I used a Greyish/Cream thread and I think it just sunk into the quilt.
Now to our group sew day to be bound and ta da - It will be loving a Veteran soon as a Quilt of Valor!
Oh and.... I didn't empty the orphan block bin ( sigh)
Now it is your turn!!!

Wow! Fantastic finish! I was trying to figure out which blocks were orphans. They are all too gorgeous to be orphans and they are so color coordinated.
oh so awesome
Great panel and great use of your orphan blocks! So cool!
Fantastic job! It looks great!
What a wonderful finish. And I agree, that panto is perfect!
It looks fantastic!
Nice finish!
You did a fabulous job and that panto is perfect. I love that you have binding angels! I do mine almost all by machine now, and it doesn't bother me so much. Happy Fri-yay!
Hi,
Awesome quilt...so colorful. Have a great day!
What an awesome quilt! You’ve got some really great blocks for the outer edge.
This is so beautiful. It tempts me to do the next Blockheads project as a QoV. I hope I can match your beauty!
I remember when you were puzzling the quilt top together. I love how it came together and the quilting is great. And hooray for a QOV partner in crime binding it! :)
The quilt looks like you planned all those blocks. Very graphic, great job!
Very nice Alycia. Great idea. Too bad I don't have 12" blocks and a bunch in the same color!
A wonderful way to use up some of the orphan blocks. It does look totally planned.
Spectacular finish, Alycia!!!
It is an awesome finish! That is a beautiful panel.
Fabulous use of orphans for a great QOV finish
Hi Alycia, what a great quilt. It looks like the blocks all found a good home! One day, you'll be ready to make another one with the rest of the orphans! Thanks for the linking party.
Well done!
