    I get orphan scrap blocks from our leftover scrap store, which supports the Senior Center, here in Sonoma County. I have made 2 quilts so far of orphans, from the many ladies' donations to the shop. The shop volunteers are extraordinarily wonderful people!

    Thanks for explaining the exploding square block. It really is an effective design. It has a complicated look, while being very easy to create.

      @@TrueBlueQuilts I have been thinking this over, and I am finding it hard to pin down a particular block. There are some I like that I haven't ever made, but I really like the friendship star, log cabin, and 54-40 or Fight. Lots of different methods used in these. The half-square triangle is surely versatile, isn't it?

      @@TrueBlueQuilts Thanks for the heads-up about the Split Nine Patch. It really is so versatile. I have always loved the log cabin and the terrific variety of designs possible. Using the split 9-patch is a great way to accomplish that effect.
