I reviewed the contents of the box o' blocks -- that's my name for the box of orphan blocks and "units" (four-patches, HSTs, and other pieces left over from projects). I have chosen two sets of blocks for adoption.

SET 1: Barn Dance blocks. These were a guild mystery several years ago. Blocks are 13.5" unfinished.
SET 2: New York Beauty blocks. These were prototypes for a quilt I made earlier this year. Blocks are 8.5" unfinished.
I've been wanting to make a New York Beauty. I'd love to win those blocks to get a jump on making one. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating Nann. I am sure your lovely blocks will find a new home.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE your New York Beauty blocks!!
ReplyDeleteThose barn dance blocks are lovely, I'd love to work with them!
ReplyDeleteI'd finish either set for a quilt for Quilts Beyond Borders or Wrap-A-Smile!
ReplyDeleteI can see potential in both sets of blocks. Some generous sashing and borders would turn them into lovely donation quilts!
ReplyDeletePut me in for the NY Beauty blocks (as if I need more orphans!). I loved your quilt and would be honored to have some of your blocks to work with.
ReplyDeletegood for you...i managed to have one of my two adopted...they were small pieces and it looks like most of the adopting quilters want bed size..pretty blocks tho...
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have either one of these offerings for a quilt for my quilting group's fundraiser for a longarm machine. Thanks for the chance. Karen kthurn(at)bektel(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI could finish either set and donate them for a charity quilt. Nice colors.
ReplyDeleteThese would be perfect for a charity quilt project that my girlfriend runs called Mito Quilts of Hope mitoquiltsofhope.org It is for giving quilts to children and adults affected by mitochondrial disease, which is a neurodegenerative disease that can be life threatening. Please FB message "Lisa Mito" if anyone would like to help out or donate a orphaned quilt or use the contact on mitoquiltsofhope.org.
ReplyDeleteI would love your Bew York Beauty blocks. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the Barn Dance blocks. They could be two wonderful table runners, or perhaps a quilt with a creative setting. I would have fun coming up with something!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your blocks are gorgeous! I would love either set. Both sets of blocks would make the perfect beginning to a baby quilt - I make and donate lots of quilts for charity every year!
ReplyDeleteI love me a New York Beauty, but would be delighted to receive either set of blocks - how kind of you to offer them!

ReplyDeleteOh Nann! The barn dance blocks are the perfect size and color for a new topper for my coffee table in my family room.

I don't think that alot of people read your instructions. You said, "don't say 'either' ", and yet half the people responding said that they'd like to have either. I don't want any, but those New York Beauty-type blocks are tempting.
ReplyDeleteI love the new York beauty blocks. Since I have never made that block, I would love the opportunity to see what I can do with these and maybe even make more of these blocks. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'd be tickled to win those NY Beauties. My hand-sewing group likes to make lap quilts for veterans in wheelchairs and I think they would be just perfect for that!
ReplyDeletefabric choices are the hardest thing for me. It is the hurdle in the race that I can't get over easily. I love to get blocks from others where their creativity has already made the hard choices. I make quilts to raise money for our school and the community with blocks given to me. I love working with other's works-- it takes the pressure off :) I would happily take your blocks (all or either set) and create something fabulous with them that would support other's fundraising goals. Pick me! :) p.s. thank you for offering them up in the first place.
ReplyDeleteNew York Beauty are my first choice. kthurn(at)bektel(dot)com
ReplyDeleteThe barn dance blocks would be delightful for a comfort quilt from our quilt ministry group. Thank you for offering these two beautiful sets of blocks. Amityquilter2008 at gmail dot com.
