i read Victoria's Bumble Beans blog and an idea she does inspired me....she asks readers to mail her 'orphan' blocks/pieces and she sews it all together and calls it a 'kitchen sink quilt' i've been saving all my orphan bits, pieces, and test blocks and i wanna use them. my small box is getting full..
so if you have some orphan quilty bits/blocks laying around- i'm blatantly asking for them. doesn't matter what color or size....email me and i'll send you my snail mail address....

I have orphans, and you are welcome to them, lots of them.
ReplyDeleteyou can't have mine. i have been saving them for the same thing! i do like the term 'kitchen sink' quilts though.
ReplyDeleteI'd be glad to send you mine. I've saved them because it seemed a shame to throw them away, but didn't think I'd use them. It's nice to think of them getting a second life.
ReplyDeleteI've got one, and it won't make a quilt by itself, but with others it might not do too bad. But what happens if all the orphans are different sizes:/ With your mathy brain, you'll have no problem. I'll dig it out and get it on the road to you!

I have some I'll gladly send you. I have your address from the block exchange, so I'll get them in the mail in the next couple of days.

ReplyDeleteI'm going to go look for you some abandoned children...they'll be coming your way!!
ReplyDeleteI have really ugly ones...if you want them.
ReplyDeleteI sent you some blocks...not that I'm looking for them, but have you sewn them together? **smile***I probably have a few more to send you!
