A Group of us had a Cut! it! Up! Challenge.
We put orphan blocks in a bag, we exchanged the bag/... and we were supposed to cut them up and make something new.
Here are my original blocks.
I had all sorts of ideas, but None of them spoke to me ---- until...
I just Chose my most favorite block to use as the center - and then I sliced up the ready of them.... Willie Nillie.... I did try to think about where I would cut them. But do you know - thinking - it is overrated!!!
After I had them all sliced up I started playing and making borders - and Ta Da!!! Above is what I made.
I do need to quilt it, and I think it would be a fun little table topper!!
I also got some quilting in... So much Fun!!!!
It's so colorful - and now!! I need to bind... so its a finish in Progress.
I was listening to a podcast that was talking about the power of positive thinking, so instead of thinking this is a future UFO... I am thinking it is a FUTURE FINISH!!!
See .... I feel so much better already!!
NOW!!! it is your turn!!!
Link up your direct post to your Finished ( or not) Post for this week!! Show off folks!!

Oh, I love the idea of a future finish.
What a fun challenge! Was there a guideline about how many blocks went into a bag? I love what you did!
A future finish - I like that! I have many of those around here. :) Your challenge quilt looks like a fun project! Happy Friday, Alycia!
very creative! love those AHA moments...
How cute that turned out! What a great lesson for orphan blocks - I am bookmarking this to remind myself. I like "Future Finish" very much!
Oh, I really like the table topper flimsy, that came together really well! And how can you not have fun when you are quilting that much bright color?
That is a fun idea for orphan blocks.
I love it! I'm not sure I would have been able to cut any of them up. Thanks for hosting the weekly party!
That is an interesting challenge. I think I'd be paralyzed with indecision for a while. Your project came out great!
Hi Alycia, future finish is great! What a wonderful idea to cut up the blocks and make something new. It really looks great :-) Thanks for the party.
