Are you over loaded with quilt blocks galore? I am! I even have a special drawer where I keep all my lost or leftover Quilt Blocks.
Usually called an orphan block, or UFO {unfinished object} quilt block- they don’t have a home {except for the drawer in my sewing cottage} and it was getting crowded so I put together a series to help myself and you find some inspiration and easy sewing projects, so they will not be homeless anymore. I am sure I will have a never ending supply of them, but at least I can find something to do with them now!
Ready to figure out what to do with your lost and lonely quilt blocks? Whether you are a beginner or newbie at sewing, doesn’t matter.
These are all free, small, simple and fun. Some are even kid friendly {for them to start sewing with}.
So, dig out your quilt blocks that have no home and start sewing!
Quilting Supplies you may need:
- Rotary cutter or a new sharp blade
- Cutting Mat
- Quilt Ruler
- Sewing Machine this brother is my favorite!
- Iron here or here
- Thread
- Bobbins
- Scissors
- Seam Ripper not my favorite thing to do!
