Hitting the Jackpot with Thin Mints

I ordered some Girl Scout cookies from my friend's daughter and lucky me, they brought over the cookies and a box of fabric scraps last night! Some scraps, orphan blocks and pieces more then a yard. My stash was running low! (ha ha)Guess my DH would disagree with that statement.

Fun colors!

It is interesting to see the variety since the Girl Scouts (12-17 years old) were working on pajama pants and many of these were scraps from their project. Many flannels.

She often brings me a box or bag of scraps. I really appreciate having a thoughtful friend like her.

More Orphan Blocks

I attended 2 work days for Project Linus in January and came home with 

several quilts that needed binding and a large bag of orphan blocks. 

Fun! Here a sample of what's in the bag.

Black and whites:   

Scrappy: 

Colorful: 

I could see why these got put aside, most are 8”-8½” or 12”-12¾”. 

Some slightly less and points not always meeting. Most of the HST 

were made with 2 squares, no trimming of the corners and then sewn 

with other units. This created 9 layers is some corners. I picked out, 

trimmed and resewed.

I selected the colorful blocks, I needed sunshine after the cold weather 

and a head cold. Resewed a few seams and squared them up to 12”. 

I also added 4 wonky blocks. This zebra fabric and the red cornerstones 

were added and ended with this:
