I actually Did work on the Purple Thingy this week but it's still in pieces so I won't post another picture of that!  One can only stand assembly line piecing so long before the heart cries out for a little variety.  So, I dug out one of my baskets of Orphan Blocks and realized I had accumulated enough shades of green to construct a top.  The rows are mostly assembled I just need to work out the strips between the rows and how to finish tht one central row.  Here 'tis! These are all Real Orphan Blocks given to me by various friends and guild members. You might not think some of these blocks could go together  but I find the color agreement is enough to carry the design along.   Some of the block's put together might seem awkward but I think quirky juxtapositions work when taken with the whole!   I was also lucky to have this collection of quarter square triangles on hand.  They more less run the spectrum of greens that compliment ...

I'm still working on the purple thingy, but let's face it , there's only so many "in progress photos"  one can post before it gets old.  And I needed  a break. I found the center of this top at the guild Flea Market. (No surprise there!  LOL) I added the 3 outer borders on the sides and the airplane fabric on the top and Bam, Done! Another humble quilt for donation. This next one was some pre-cut squares, also a Flea find, also an easy finish for some deserving child.  All that was needed was sew the patches together  And add borders. Kind of like add water and stir.... These animal prints are so cute!!! It's refreshing to finish something so easily. OK, so there is the quilting and binding.  Funs over  I can't procrastinate any longer.... Back to the purple thingy. Have a great rest of your week! take care, CW

The pieces are beginning to coalesce but it still needs to get bigger I want to make it about 60" x 60". But of course I can't just work on one thing through to completion so I distracted myself with a kid quilt. I got a bag of flannels including these big scraps and they just kinda jumped out of the bag and assembled themselves. These kid prints are so cute.  They are so fun to work with!   I hope you are all safe and healthy! Take care, cw
