I had a wonderful time at the last Idaho PieceMakerS Meeting, in Kuna. We all brought our Orphan Block projects and presented them to their owners, all finished in a surprise fashion.

I forgot to take a photo of the finished wall hanging.
Norma took a photo and sent it to me. |
The really amazing part was what became of the two orphan blocks I submitted for completion by someone else.
I made these two blocks at a quilting class in spring 2014. I learned paper piecing and enjoyed the experience, but I did not want to make anymore of these type of blocks for a quilt. I prefer my own free-style method of making wonky house blocks. So, these went into the paper bag for the Orphan Block Challenge. It turns out Mary, picked my bag from the pile on the table and what she brought back, two months later, was a wonderful pleasing surprise to me! Below are the front and back of the most fabulous tote bag! The back has the trees block and it is a pocket. She, also, put a pocket on the inside. The bag is lined in navy blue. Mary is an excellent seamstress and made me feel extra special with this wonderful finished project!
