One orphan block - well, actually I have 13, but I've come up with a design for the other 12 and are approximately 17" squarish, so that makes this an orphan. I've decided to make a coverlet(that's a quilt without batting) as a summer throw. This is going to be totally from my scraps. In keeping with that I've picked an old curtain of which you can see the back under the dresden plate block. I got that at a fabric swap as I really liked the print. So first order of business is to machine applique the block to the center of the backing. Yes, this will be a "quilt as I find to add".

UFO #7
Okay, it's just a pre-printed/quilted panel. I just refuse to call it a cheater panel - LOL. I added the binding. It was a ufo cuz I bought it out of a bargain bin with every intention of making a baby quilt, so to me it qualifies as a ufo - it was waiting to get finished.
This one's going to the local crisis pregnancy center. Thin - just right for summer. Now to find UFO #8.
Hugs,
Angie
UFO #6 Round Robin
Another of the countless ufos is done. Here is a round robin my online group (quiltsonreview at yahoo groups) hosted in 08. I specifically requested a smaller robin because I want to hang this in our master bathroom. I made the poppy in the center in a sulky class in the late 90s at the Road to California Quilt Show. It was a lot of fun, ladies! Thank you for your beautiful contributions. I especially liked that we did a journal to go with it, but can I find it?! LOL I'm sure it will turn up as I continue to destash. Here is the back:
