Hi from Indiana. Freezing tonight!
Your switch to the stripe adds a great energy and cheerfulness to your quilt. Goes to show what we know. lol
I like the fabric you chose for your stay at home quilt. It is a fun choice. And good for you for going with what is right for you. We are queens of our own quilts!!
I want to see all of the orphan blocks Pat !
I love the striped sashing and cornerstones you decided on for the block-a-day. It's so fun. I loved the other blue options too, but you're right. This is way more fun and cheerful.
I love this new sashing fabric
I love the stripes! It does feel fun! Thanks for your talk on orphan blocks. I have a few but not near the stack that you have! Lol. I love listening to you. Your giggles make me happy. I was ok with your blue sashing but this stripe takes it to another level!!!
Just finished a king size and put most my orphans into the backing.
I have a lot of sample blocks. I use same color palette for my sample blocks so that they'll come together in a quilt some day.
What a great idea!
This isn't probably the ruler you had in mind, but it is an invention of mine. I use a wooden yard stick & stapled a measuring tape on the end. I can not get on my knees on the floor to measure anymore so ...when I'm measuring to add on borders, I put the quilt top on floor then use the wooden stick to weight it then add the tape measure measurement to get my total inches.
Love the striped lattice, the blue was nice, but the stripes kicked it up a notch.
I love my 2.5x7inch ruler.. I use it all the time.
I am smiling, those stripes are something else! I love it!!!
The stripes look much better. 😊
I don’t have a lot of orphan blocks either, but here’s what I have done with them. Put some into a machine pad and used the project to practice free motion quilting. I’ve used some to make a padded sleeve for the foldable light (nice for taking to class). I’ve used to make chicken pin cushions- which actually turned out pretty cute. We sold a bunch at our last guild quilt show. I’m pretty thrifty so nothing goes to waste in my world. 😄. Be safe and well!
I bought frames and framed several of my favorite orphan blocks and hung them on my wall. I also use them on the backs of my quilts to separate the backing. So I don't have a lot of orphans🤣
I love, love, love the stripe!!! It just made the quilt jump with joy! Love your videos and warm and positive attitude.
love you ideas for the orphan blocks! Thanks for all the inspiration!!!
I love love the stripes on your stay at home quilt!
I saw the full picture of your birthday quilt over on one of your other pages. It is WoW! I LOVE it! What a great work of love fitting it all together, Pat! Kuddos to you. Thank you for sharing.
I love your stripes! It does make it cheerful and 🏖.
I have many orphan blocks. Have always planned to put them together.
Mu favorite ruler is the Triangle tool from omnigrid that helps you figure out what size to cut your triangles for on point quilts. I love my creative grid rulers also but this tool is really handy for on point quilts
Thank you for the orphan block guidance. I will sort and combine into projects as you suggested. I love my new Stripology rulers. I like your happy stripes borders and your quilts with polka dots make me happy.
This was a great show. Lots of creative ideas. I like to use my square n square.
Thanks Pat, I am such a fan!
I love your orphan quilt behind you. It turned out so cute. I’ve got some orphan blocks and didn’t know what to do with them. Thanks for the video.
I initially liked the blue...till I saw the stripes. You nailed it!
Love your birthday quilt! This would be a great class!!! I do love the stripe sashing, Happy Happy, Happy :)
I love my 12-1/2 x 2-1/2 ruler the best. Packs easily in my purse, perfect for cutting 2-1/2" squares. Just such a great tool!
I love the striped fabric you are using for the sashing now! A much more fun look!
Wow, I thought I liked your blue sashing, but it pays to follow your gut. That stripe really makes it special!
There's an edge on the short end of my favorite ruler. It snugs right up against the cutting mat and has saved me more than once.
Wow! I really, really like the stripes. The blue was ok, but if you aren't excited you need to change something...and you did. Great job.
Such beautiful fabrics
Yay for the stripes! Didn't want to say anything about the blue, but love the stripes... I found a stack of similar stripes already cut for sashing that I'm going to audition...
My favorite ruler right now is the Folded Corner Clipper by Creative Grids... No more drawing lines! The corners come out perfect every time... I'm using it for the stay at home blocks and a couple other projects... and I use it to cut all my binding strips at once... Saves a ton of time... Thanks Pat.. Love you back!
Oh Pat, I liked the blue sashing but I love the striped fabric sashing with the blue cornerstone . What a difference !
I love those greens!
You give great advice (orphan blocks). Thanks! I like the stripe fabric better. I love the corner stones. Thanks!
My favorite ruler is my 6.5 x 24 inches. It was the first ruler I bought, I use it the most, therefore it is the one I am most comfortable with.
Love the stripes!
My 6 x 24 ruler I use a lot. I have not purchased any new rulers lately. Just love the ones I have.
Love the new sashing!
I need to start getting those fabric bundles. I need every color. It's so hard for me to pick out fabric. There are so many choices, I'm drawn every which way. LOL! I really want to start getting a few batiks. I hope you're having a peaceful sleep at this time of night. 💗😊💗
it helps if you only use certain colors - everything will eventually blend
Love the strip fabric on your Stay at Home quilt.
Pat I wish I had your energy. Don’t know how you do all you do! ☺️ my favorite ruler is my 3”x9” creative grid. LOVE the creative grid rulers. Wish I could change all my others out for them. 😍
Love the flip flops!
My most used ruler is my 6 x 12, but I always have a 4 inch share by my machine for marking diagonal lines when I'm sewing. I also really love the 4 x 24. And honourable mention are the lock block rulers for squaring up those HST's
I don't have my orphan blocks together, so you gave me a great idea thanks
Love your birthday quilt. I need to get mine gathered into one place, and see what ideas come to me. When I participate in BOMs, I make a practice block.
Great video, Pat. I am going thru my pantry today. Sorting out "orphan" food! Lol.
You should use the flip flop orphan block and use it as one of blocks in the stay at home quilt. just add the flip and cut corners
This quilt on the wall - both, but especially the turquoise one - is great.
Love the stripes for sashing ♥️
Love the ideas for the orphan blocks, my favourite ruler is the 2 1/2 x 24...use it mostly as I use my cutting board for measurements...
My favorite ruler is a 3" x 9" just comes in so handy.
My favorite ruler is a 5" x 24" Olifa Lip Edge Ruler.
My Favorite Ruler is the 2 1/2 x 24". It is great for cutting borders for quilts or jelly rolls. Also use the 6 1/2" ruler for several different times. Enjoy seeing your Orphan Quilt Blocks and all the ideas that you give me in which to use my orphan blocks.
When organizing my strips, hst's, and squares, I also found a bunch of extra blocks from different quilts. I decided to put them all together in a bin. Waiting for more to be made. Lol!
The challenge sounds like fun. I will schedule it in this week as I know its going to take me some time to locate most of my orphan blocks. Alot of them will be machine embroidery blocks I am guessing, as i use to do a lot of testing for some embroidery people and so have accumulated a lot of very nice blocks that I've always wanted to make something out of. Will have to start putting all these into kits. : )
Love the Butterfly quilt pattern
I usually add an orphan block to the back of a quilt or will "find" enough other blocks or fabric to enlarge it for a table topper or a runner. My favorite rulers now are from MSQC---a 5 x 15 and a 2.5 x 8 since I'm using layer cakes and charm paks more.
If you could find some of the seafoam green in the smashing or a soft light coral, that would be beautiful, but I would personally lean toward the seafoam green.
Love the hexi scissor block!
Love the colors of the layer cake. I don’t tend to have orphan blocks as I use precuts.
Great ideas!
I just discovered the Creative grids Corner Clipper. Really great for making binding and sewing the binding together to make the ends meet flawlessly. I have another ruler for this purpose but this one really makes sense to me and is easier to use. There are allot of youtube videos on how to use it.
Your quilt matches your outfit! :)
Although I liked the blue, the strip is really nice. It really works!
That butterfly fabric in the 10" squares would make a nice border on the butterfly quilt.
3 x 12 , favorite of all time is 6 x 24. Makes life so easy. I have probably every ruler known. To man. And I love them all. By 6 x 24 I had to replace it was in only 38 yrs old.
I make pot holders usually sandwich together and then do practice quilting keep next to tiara, also sometimes make pockets for aprons
My orphan quilt blocks tend to be ones where I have made mistakes either cutting or piecing. ;) Thank you for ideas on how to turn them into a quilt.
p.s. I love the Creative Grids rulers because they grip the fabric without adding extra bulk and I can still slide my fabric to get the perfect cut. It's magical.
I love the strips, maybe a bright polka dot blue perhaps or pink
Oh I do like the stripped fabric on the Stay at Home quilt.

I have a 5x25 o’Lipha ruler with the lip FROM 20 something years ago! But my most used is the perfect 5 ruler!
My favorite ruler is 6.5 by 12.5 by The Cutting Edge.
I love a good stripe. Good choice!
I can’t keep up with you. I wish I could because your daily challenges are perfect. I am keeping up with the stay at home blocks but will stretch the challenges to fill May and June! I really look forward to seeing you every day, especially Monday night because it’s longer.
I will get all mine together I don't have many because I usually make up but I might surprise myself
I liked the Bonnie Lane blue you used previously but you didn't like it so it had to be replaced. I think the striped fabric suits the personality of your quilt with it's fun fabrics, therefore your quilt becomes an expression of your personality and that is important - you have a quilt that is uniquely yours. Always go with your gut. Thank you for your continued inspiration.
I think the stripes really make your blocks pop! Much better choice! Also, the only place in Canada where a person can't participate in sweepstakes, is Quebec. They have their own laws. This does not apply to the rest of Canada. FYI
The green packet would make beautiful flower stems and leaves
I have so many rulers. The one I use the most is my 6" x 24". I love my small squares for squaring up HSTs. I might own all the small ones. Please don't ask me why. LOL
Hello from Nevada, Pat, I like the stripes much better!!! The medium blue solid was just too heavy to me. It just didn’t click. The stripes are happy and much lighter. Happy Monday!
I love the green fabric...I am not going to look for my orphan blocks they will have to stay orphan for now!
I only have a few orphan blocks and would probably dismantle them to use the fabric for another block altogether.
I guess that I don't have enough orphan blocks (only 25 or so) because my colors aren't even close to being able to be in one quilt. My go-to ruler
Is an O'LIPFA ruler: 5" x 24" with a lip edge.
Perhaps you could use you orphan block from the splendid sampler for a block in the Quarantine quilt
My favorite ruler is Omnigrid 6 1/2 inch
I Love my "Creative Grids”10 ½ sq. Ruler.
Stayed in today and finish up face mask for my kids in Colo. who need some, they are running out of face mask at the hospital that they work at. We are to have snow by 5a.m. on Tues. what can I say it is Ks. as my husbands would say. I have a lot of orphans, I start something and it does not look like what I thought it would be, I chuck it. My SIL has used some of them for her labels, but I like the mug rug concept. Some might look good as face mask too. I like the stripes a lot glad you re-did it and used the darker blue for the squares in between. I would not know what I would of done if I did not have a stash now, but will start to but half yard instead of fat quarters so I will have a little more. My favorite ruler is the cornor ruler to make binding with, makes matching up with and sew the angle to make them. Stay safe and sew on
My favorite ruler is eleanor burns square up ruler
Good for you for taking off the sashing if it didn't make you happy! A nuisance, but worth it, so you are pleased with the look. I love the stripes! So much more cheerful, and wasn't that the idea in the first place?
I don't have orphan blocks for some reason ... have been quilting for 20 years...I do have scraps though...!
Hi from COSTA RICA
I don't think I have any orphan blocks well unless I don't use the pieces that I am cutting from the stay at home blocks then I will have several small ones, but I am thinking of trying to work them in with the backing for the stay at home quilt block top.
I have one orphan block and I wish I had used it instead of what I replaced it with...I have a few units..Like triangle in a square units that were extra, but only a few. I'm not sue how one ends up with so many..
Hi Pat are you talking about Wiesbaden-Biebrich? I used to live there too and went often to that so called "Schlosspark" just to hang around. I still live in that area but more southwards actually where the river Main arrives/ends into the Rhine. Have a nice day looking forward to see how this orphan blocks will end up. Kindest Bille
that is the town :) I live near the Champagne factory
I have an orphanage!
