My first project for the new year involves both orphan blocks and the use of my 4S (see the last two blog posts)...
I made the blocks from Tuesday's post into a small quilt top adding fabric from my stash and then found some pieces that could be sewn together for a backing. The only pieces that I did not use for the backing are those two small scraps on the left side of the photo...they'll go back into my scrap collection for future use.
In the photo below, you can see that I had just enough fabric for the backing...
Then I went into my supply of batting scraps and found these....
...which I sewed together (using the flat joining seam on my Bernina) to make this....again, just enough to fit...
...and last, but not least, I found four strips that will be sewn into a scrappy binding...
(sorry for the awful photos taken in my basement)
The seventh block of this orphan bunch will be used for something else someday...

A great post showing it is not that hard to use what you have on hand and still end up with something that looks very nice!
