Orphan Block Adoption

By -
sample blocks donated by Marty S.
October 2019
Marty S. from TN contacted me a couple of weeks ago and asked if I could use some star blocks that her mother had made. She had fifteen of the large blocks and 24 of the smaller stars. I gladly accepted Marty's offer and look forward to turning them into a Quilt of Valor.

When the blocks arrived, I gently hand washed them, gave them a good press, and then squared the big blocks to 12.5 inches and the small stars to 6.5 inches.

While squaring the blocks, I came up with an idea and look forward to creating a QOV with Marty's mother's blocks.

    Very pretty blue blocks. I can't wait to see what you do with them. Can't you just imagine how thrilled her mother would be to see the blocks finally becoming a quilt?
