Well, I had a ball making these fun blocks! Thanks Pat for the challenge to work with ORANGE!Prior to this weekend, the only time I used orange was to make pumpkin appliques. Don't get me wrong, I do like orange, just never thought about it as a focus color I guess! This quilt top will get a border of all the scraps I trimmed off the blocks. I will work on that during this week, and then get some Minky for the back and the quilt will be ready for Thurber Herkamer Lawrence!! (No, that's not his real name, just a name we all call him since his parents haven't decided yet!) The little one is due to arrive this April.
OH! And even though I had a wonderful time during my first cyber retreat, it was accentuated today by finding out that I won an ORANGE GIVEAWAY!!!! Thanks to Natalie from School of Crafts Like me, she constructed the block differently (not like mine or Pat's) and she did some darling coasters out of the OP block that you should check out - real easy and fun!
You are amazing! to wonk out those blocks, and give the quilt a creative border...I can't wait to see it finished...so be sure to post another pic please!
Now that's an original, Mel! Great quilt - and (ahem) will you be the mommy of Thurber Herkamer Lawrence? BTW - has anyone else noticed that your posts don't always show up right away? I checked yesterday and I didn't see anything new for several days, now today I see all sorts of posts since the 20th! Cheers!
