Another Quilt from Orphan Blocks

 Remember all those orphan blocks a friend recently gave me?

Well, I am still making quilts with them! There were a number of pineapple blocks in the stack.  Some were cut in two and a few needed to be finished.

For the center of this quilt, I took one of her blocks and put four pineapple blocks cut on the diagonal around it. I added n some strip sets that I had hidden away in my orphan block stash.  Two big pineapple blocks on the top and bottom made a great vertical center.

On the side edges, I used another cut pineapple block and added in two other blocks I slit in two.  I also love to use a print background in my orphan block quilts. I love the effect it has with all the busy blocks.

I used three different prints on the back.  Even the binding was made from two pieces of leftover binding that I just spaced around the edges.

I am really pleased with how this one turned out.  I delivered this one and a previous finish back to the friend that gave me all the orphan blocks.  She seemed to really like how they turned out too!

The rest of the gifted blocks went back into my stash.  I will get them out again soon but I have a number of other quilts I am really hoping to finish up before the end of the year.

(And if you read my last post, you know I am a bit distracted right now!)

Have a fantastic weekend!
