Orphan Block Adoptions, anyone?

          Cynthia Brunz is hosting one of her Orphan Adoption Events  https://quiltingismorefunthanhousework.blogspot.com/2021/03/spring-2021-quilty-orphan-adoption-event.html  Good news for me to clear some things out.

Quilting is more fun than Housework

     First up, is a complete small quilt cut that I started in a workshop with a trained Studio 180, Deb Tucker teacher. I have the small pattern, the template, 2 extra project sheets and all the fabric cut for this small star quilt. It is a Lemoyne Star template. It works well, I liked doing it, but it is not my area of interest. I love the batiks I chose, but I will never finish it. The direction are included and there are great videos on Deb Tucker's Youtube channel. The template is pricey, but I will give all this away for free if you will use it.




      The second is my attempt to try and use plaids. I had this brain wave to make flying geese in plaids and make a quilt top. I collected all cotton plaids, mostly shirts. I made a few blocks and my anti-plaid brain vetoed the idea. You could make flying geese or whatever other block you wanted.


      If you really want to work on these, I would be happy to send them. Just make a comment below telling me you are interested, and on Tuesday, when my granddaughter is here again for virtual school, she will draw a name from the comments. Let me know which one you want or both. Make sure you are not a no reply commentor.

I'd love the plaids! I am planning to make the Seven Shirts Quilt, but I don't have enough plaids yet. Thanks for the chance.

You had me at plaid! But please don’t draw my name. I have boxes of them already.

Thanks for participating!

This is a great way for all of us
to get things finished when
we have lost interest in them.

I would love to finish your Star Quilt.
Have a special person to give this quilt
to.

Linda, I would love to have a chance at the Star quilt. You got me hooked on Star blocks when you showed a quilt you made and now they are my favorite block. Thank you so much for the chance.

What a gorgeous start to that star quilt! I would enjoy giving that a try. I have looked at her templates before and they are pricey. Thanks for the chance.

I would love to make this plaid quilt. So generous.

Darlene said...

I like both of them. Love batiks and plaids.

Stars in blue and yellow -- Oh yes, please. I have walls that need to shine with stars.

Nann said...

I love the blue-and-gold stars! I'm a big fan of Deb Tucker's methods -- and I don't have that ruler. I'd love to have these orphans and I would make them into a quilt.

Sharon said...

The gold stars are beautiful, and would be great in a Quilts of Valor quilt. Thanks for offering them.

Cathy said...

I love the plaids!

I would love to give your star blocks a good home. Star blocks are my favorites, and blue is my favorite color--a match made in heaven for me! Thanks for the chance to adopt them!

I love those stars! The blues are so pretty and the yellows really set them off nicely. I've liked Lemoyne stars, but haven't ever tried to make them.

Cathy said...

The plaids are delicious! I’ve been collecting plaid shirting sand patterns with the goal of eventually having enough to make a quilt. Please throw my name into the hat.

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for the star quilt. The fabrics are gorgeous. I just finished a pair of 18x18" blue and yellow quilts that this would be perfect with! Thank you. crheb AT yahooDOTcom

I would love a chance to make up that star quilt. I have been wanting to try that template, but I don't have it.

Linda in PA said...

I love the plaids and have a quilt idea that would look great made up in plaids. Thanks for the chance!
