Another Orphan Block Compassion Quilt

Returning from vacation can be overwhelming in catching up with quilting projects, where do I start?

I decided to start with the orphan blocks arranged on the display floor, I need room for the weekly Laundry Basket Mystery quilt. I had posted about the blocks in this post.

I have no memory of piecing those courthouse step blocks, I must have been at loose ends when I pieced them. I added several other blocks even though they aren't the same design. A couple of the blocks needed spacer strips added to bring them to size.

A search through the brown/green box didn't find good coordinating fabrics for borders but then I spied the bag with the brown/green fabrics I bought several years ago from the resale table at the Jane Stickle retreat.

This flimsy measures 56" by 75", the brown/green fabrics are perfect for this quilt.

It joins the rest of the flimsies waiting in the 'to be quilted' closet which will happen sometime next spring.
