Carol recently sent Daughter and me a box of scraps. We love scraps. Did I mention that we have a charity that gives a loving home to scraps? (Well, that is a different topic.) 🙂
Anyway, among other wonderful things in the box were some orphan quilt blocks.
Ta-dah! Potholders!
Thank you, Carol.

what a great idea for using orphan blocks..i have several…i gave my box of them to a friend to pick out the ones she wanted–she used them to make table runners for end tables for gifts–and she brought back several of them so now i know what to do with them..oh boy!!!! another project on my growing list for 2012!!!!! happy new year everybody!!!!
Great idea! You just gave me an idea on how to use some of the blocks you gifted me.
That’s a terrific gift for a quilter. =) Love what you did with the blocks.
How fun — love that penny block. It looks like one of the CW quilt blocks! I know, because I happen to have that same orphan block! 🙂
Thanks to all for the dose of inspiration! I have resolved to do something with as many of my u.f.o.’s,orphan blocks and just messing around project starts as is humanly possible.The drawer they are kept in is bursting at the seams ! And then for being so organized and accomplishing so much I’m going to treat myself to some fabric and a few other goodies!
Nice! I will have to remember that one when I have extra quilt blocks.
The only thing better than being given scraps is being given orphan blocks. Good idea.
So glad these are finished instead of in a pile at my house! I like the backs too.
