    My mom and I (plus a friend of hers and my sister) have been collecting orphan blocks for more than a decade. We probably have enough to make 3 quilts. But they sit in a box because we have no idea where to start. The concept of ‘neighborhoods’ makes me think we can finally have a place to get started. Thank you!

    Dave,
    Both, you and your mom are soooo blessed to have each other.
    Without knowing any of you personally, I can feel your love for each other and see what a wonderful mom she’s been to you and what a wonderful son you’ve been to her.
    Not everyone has that !!!
    Treasure and continue to enjoy your relationship.
    You both are GOLD 🥇🥇

    Love what you did with orphan blocks from old quilts! And the music - piano- what I played in my 28 yr time- back in 55 yrs ago
    So back, the quilt was interesting to hear the details back from other quilts your Mom’s quilt! Fantastic! They - are - Great! Dear Dave and Mom! Love the historical comments! Sandi Myer!

    Hey, Dave and Dave’s Mom! I love how this quilt came out. It’s amazing what you can do with those bonus blocks! I hope you include information re how this quilt cam3 to b3 on a label on the back for future generations. Perhaps even collab to write or ink-jet print the story on fabric and include it in a pocket on the back!
    Thank you for sharing your approach to the hand quilting! The first queen-size quilt that I made was before rotary cutters. It was a double Irish chain, cut out with a template, and I quilted it 1/4” on each side of the seams with it pinned between my knees-a technique taught in a book from the late 7s or early 80s. I can picture the cover of the book, but the name of the author escapes me at the moment.
    Thanks, and stay well!

    This video came at the right time. I have inherited UFO orphans from a lady who was very special to me and recently passed on. I also have pillow top panels. I love my crumb/scrap quilts that I normally make, so I know it would have to be similar. You did a great job with these orphans and I love the quilt top. We have very similar working styles. I enjoy watching your vidoes. Thank you.
