I just pieced a back the other day with orphans from the Farmer's Wife Sampler. I only made 5 blocks. They will add some interesting to the otherwise dull backing!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833251504109166543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-6972813577526123152017-01-12T20:11:25.648-08:002017-01-12T20:11:25.648-08:00I am very excited to see how you use the orphan bl...I am very excited to see how you use the orphan blocks/components!

My orphan block storage is quite small as I tend to sew all the scraps onto the backings. But there are always those test pieces, and uglies, and abandoned projects to contend with. Looking forward to your hints and tips for dealing with these little buggaboos :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-41872309778720020012017-01-12T19:03:09.639-08:002017-01-12T19:03:09.639-08:00What a great post, and I look forward to reading m...What a great post, and I look forward to reading more about how you use these orphaned blocks. Mine never seem to go together. But then I don't always keep the components alongside. I've been known to rip apart components and "re-file" the pieces. No more!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765115495938525371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-35496843327314233692017-01-12T16:42:42.897-08:002017-01-12T16:42:42.897-08:00I'm so glad you are doing this!
