Lost and found

 So as I was going through fabric, I came across two orphan blocks that I had made several years ago. They were supposed to be part of a blog hop I participated with a friend. My friend finished her quilt, but my little orphans lay around, just waiting for the day.

So here they are. I thought surely I must have some of that fabric somewhere.

Since organizing my stash I was able to find the background fabric. Which was a huge help.

I did not really want to make 10 more blocks so I was going to go for a table runner.

Easy enough to make one more block.

And enough extra fabric to work out a table runner. Yay!

Good plan to turn the two blocks into a table runner.

Wonderful idea! I have a few orphans that I keep trying to convince myself to finish up, but nothing has taken my fancy enough to do it!

What a great way to use those two orphan blocks and make a useful project!

What a good plan to make a table runner from those orphans! It turned out beautifully.

Genius to turn the orphans into a runner & feel like you accomplished something rather than leaving them hanging around guilting you!

Way to use up that big print.

That turned out well. Orphans no more!
