My husband's aunt had a quilt her grandmother made that was so loved it was falling apart. She took the salvageable blocks and had them framed. Then at a family reunion we were all told to take one if we wanted. Appropriately the block was Grandmother's Fan. I never knew Grandma Bessie, but when I opened the back of the frame to touch that fabric I felt the love she put into it. Now I pray for the person whe gets the quilts I make and I give it a good strong hug before I turn it over. I hope they will feel the love I put into the quilt.

I inherited a bunch of blocks that my great grandmother made in the 30s. They were threadbare and made out of old clothes or maybe flower sack material you could see light through them when I say threadbare that’s what I mean. I squared them after I put a lightweight fusible on the backs to stabilize them because they were hand pieced and I didn’t want them to come apart then I squared them and put them in a wall hanging for my father so he could look at it and see his grandmother and me in the quilt

I inherited a set of Sun Bonnett Sues from my husband's great-grandmother back in 1995. They were all done on sugar sacks from a sugar factory in Colorado Springs and "vintage" fabrics. The Sues were hand-stitched and for some reason I decided NO machine was touching those!! 20+ years it took me to finish it the Sues *were* all hand-stitched, but I did put it all together with a machine (I came to my senses)

So, lately I have been making a matching organizer with the leftover blocks/fabric that I have. I make the blocks into little pockets on a larger piece of fabric that I machine quilt. Then it can slide in between the mattress and either the box spring or the frame.l and just have the pockets hang out . I made one for each side of my own bed. I have all sorts of goodness in these pockets. TV remote, chargers, a tablet, a book that I’m reading. Whatever I want. I even have a larger pocket behind the quilt blocks that holds my laptop. They are so handy! I wish I could attach a picture. I just had a perfect idea! Misty should do a live on one of these 😱😊😎

You can guess that the originator of these blocks was perhaps unhappy with how they turned out -- maybe knowing she'd lose her points, and likely simply abandoned her project. But how great is it that Jenny found them and Natalie has given them a new life. Not all perfect points, but who cares? So much more important to have something useful out of these orphan blocks! Super-fun complementary modern fabric, I think it really makes those "found" blocks sing. Well done, Natalie. Thanks for showing how to 'save' inherited blocks. ~Diana K.

We have huge embroidered squares our older sewing ladies have done. Beautiful work. Takes 12 to make a quilt, but have some sets of only 6. I finally sashed 6 together to make lap size quilts. Planning to donate to a nursing home. I found some orphan blocks and saw Jenny's chicken pin cushion tutorial. So made some of those. I still have a few star blocks from very old material. I like the alternating block style you showed first. Trouble is matching those older colors!!

Oh goodness! I loved this episode! So many memories of watching my Grandmother hand-piecing quilt tops. She is the one that sparked the interest to quilt! When she passed away, my Mother gave me her trunk full of goodies. There were several quilt tops that need to be quilted and one hexigon/diamond top that still has her needle in it! I cried when I saw that! All her quilts were hand pieced and quilted. In her trunk I found bundles of pieces wrapped in old newspaper that she hadn't got to sewing up yet. I haven't tried to sew any of the pieces - I think I'm afraid of messing up her idea. When it comes to sashing, I think she included that in her bundles. Whether any will need it, remains to be seen. I just need to get in there and try to make sense of what she was trying to put together.

When my mother downsized into a retirement home, My sister got all her fabric. There were boxes of cut squares(?). After she had completed more than 20 of her unfinished quilts, she was going to throw them out. I saved them and have made 3 quilts to date. I have 2 more to complete with the last of those pieces. Of course I had to square up as best I could every single one of those squares. But those quilts are precious to me regardless.

I attached the blocks to the background with leaving the ragged edge.I used black thread to attach. I thought they looked cute. One bigger went in the center off the grouping. I have had them on the wall in my sewing room for 25 years.

For some time now, I have been doing mostly scrappy quilts, and they have mostly pieced backs. (Anybody want to buy them !!! :) Sew anyway, I have been trying to incorporate any leftover or orphan blocks into the backs to use them up ! Another thought for leftover blocks is to make tote bags with them ! (Sometimes those leftover blocks are leftover for a reason - wrong color combo, seams don't match, or just plain ugly !! You could use those as the lining for a tote bag and no one would be the wiser !! )

@@stephaniesmith2575 I'm not so much into after quilts as piecing the back with something different. I take the biggest piece of backing I have and then add whatever matches with it to make it big enough. I was gifted tons of fabric. Which is great, but a little discouraging when I see new fabric I would like. It is also a challenge to work with someone else's entire stash. Piecing the back = using up the old to eventually make room for new plus the age of fabric front and back matches.

Natalie I do love your tutorials! I really needed this video as I’ve got inherited a bag of orphaned blocks and quilt fabrics

Friendship star, definitely. Also, other uses for orphan blocks is to make a table runner, or add them to the backing of a quilt to jazz up the back side.

Natalie, you did such a great job with the renegade blocks. I found a stack of old flower basket blocks that I put together too. I even removed a basket, used it as a pattern to applique a new basket with a little brighter fabric. They were 30s fabrics and I had some on hand. It turned out great. I paid to have it hand quilted and she did a beautiful job.
