Orphan Block – Quilted Camp Chair Bag

May 13, 2019 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

This Orphan block project is actually very creative and a practical project. A camp chair bag is perfect for sporting events too. Now that I am a soccer mom it would be great to have all my random bits and bobs in one spot with my chair. It would make chasing the shade a lot easier too if I didn’t have to pick up a 100 different items to move 1 metre.

You can see the full tutorial for this Orphan block here.

If you’re an avid quilter surely you’ll have orphan blocks. It doesn’t really matter if you are new, Orphaned blocks will find their way into your life.

Orphan blocks are extra blocks made to test block patterns or blocks that were made for quilts or projects that never got used. With little projects like these, you can turn Quilt Blocks that are just laying around into a functioning item. Maybe you don’t have an orphan block but a 50% UFO set of quilt blocks? Either way, this single block project is perfect for those quilted blocks too.

Book Review – Quilts in Italy

While I’m captivated by the allure of “Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in Italy,” and its promise of 20 stunning designs inspired by the picturesque Cinque Terre, I’ve resolved to exercise some restraint in my book-buying habits next year. As much as I’m drawn to the richly colored villages and jewel-like glimpses of the Mediterranean that serve as Kaffe’s muse, I recognize the need to curb my enthusiasm for new additions to my quilt book collection. SO for this book review, full disclosure: I have not purchased it.

With its classic and new fabrics from the Kaffe Fassett Fabric Collection, this book offers a tempting array of designs, from the traditional elegance of the Lacy Log Cabin to the bold and contrasting colors of Scaffold. The almost dizzying complexity of Chiaroscuro promises to be a captivating challenge for any quilting enthusiast.

I’m determined to exercise self-control and prioritize the quilting books I already own. While “Kaffe Fassett’s Quilts in Italy” may beckon with its promise of creative inspiration, I’m committed to making thoughtful choices about my book purchases in the coming year. After all, a little restraint now will only enhance the joy of discovering new quilting treasures in the future. Stay tuned for MORE book review in 2025
