This is the perfect name for this quilt! LOL. Carrie is always coming over and wanting to toss out my stuff. Stuff that is leftover from other quilts. I keep telling her, Don't touch my stuff! She say, It isn't stuff, it is JUNK! So I tell her, Don't touch my JUNK!
I am taking all my orphan blocks and putting them on the design wall and seeing how it flies. If I like it, it stays, if not I have plenty more where that came from. In fact, I found a second basket of orphan blocks when I was looking for those danged outhouse blocks. I am running out of pins so I am putting a few of the blocks together now and then, which makes them more permanent, at least to each other.
I found a lot of treasures from classes I took at Quilt University, like the purple applique flower and the sea shore in the center. Some are from classes at the Quilt Corner like the thread painting. I was playing with a Ricky Tims' technique with the big pink and blue flower on the right side.
There is an entire set of teacups and a teapot. I was going to paperpiece a quilt until I realized I was going to need 347 of the boogers. I have about 5 total. And the black and red squares on point are from the cybersisters round robin about 3 years ago.
The X blocks are from the very first scrap quilt I made when I realized I was getting quite a bit of scraps and had no clue what to do with them. And even from that I had leftover squares.
There are some stack and whack and some pieces left over from the Swimming Fish Quilt. They don't look like fish because I put them longways rather than together like fish.
Check out what else you see in there. People quilt, England quilt, Doilies from Frank's momma.
