Here’s another quilt made from circles cut out of orphan blocks.
I asked a friend whether to re-design the whole thing or have it quilted as is, and she said it would be fine if it had a really interesting quilting design. She here is the Aboriginal panto, done by Linda Nichols in gold thread.

The good news is that a big pile of orphan blocks just went to a guild that’s making small wallhangings for the doors in a nursing home. That leaves me with only a few hundred to do something with 😀

What a great idea! I have a pizza box overflowing with orphans. I like the lean look of your quilt with the white background. Will have to see what I can do that’s similar. Thanks! Marianne in VT
Excellent! If you send me a picture when it’s done, I can share on my blog. Thanks for reading and commenting.
I especially like the effect those curves have on the bottom right hand corner. Looks like a curved version of the AfroModern HST pattern you & I just acquired – so you’re set on the ins & outs of its basic construction. Very cool. BTW: been cutting certain of my Ankara stash…as always, ‘the first cut is the hardest’ (yeah changed the Cat Stevens last word ‘deepest’ in the quote!) but it’s opened up a floodgate of ideas…
So glad you’re having fun. And gotta love Cat Stevens in any case. I’ll send you a picture.
I’m a pushover for circles, so I really like this quilt. The pieced sections, turned into a circle and partial-circles make for an interesting design. Good negative space too, for the pretty quilting design. I like this!
Thank you!
Love it, and the quilting is spectacular
Thanks, Helen. I’ll tell the quilter!
You make me breathless. Congrats on another stunning finish. I look forward to seeing what you do with those few hundred orphan blocks!
Indeed, I’m wondering what will happen to those orphan blocks as well 😀
The quilting is amazing on this creative use of orphan blocks – awesome!
Thanks! And there are many more orphan blocks waiting…
