Everyone ends up with a few orphan blocks. Here is a great suggestion. They could also be used for Project Bags. What would you do with orphan blocks?

👜🪡 Make-It Monday!

You know that beautiful quilt block you made and said,
“I should turn this into something…”

Well… this is your sign 😄👇

✨ Turn it into a TOTE BAG!

Because nothing says confidence like walking into a store carrying a bag and casually saying:
“Thanks… I made it.” 😎

Bonus:
✔ Holds fabric
✔ Holds more fabric
✔ Somehow still not enough room for all the fabric

💬 Be honest… are you making this tote for errands… or for your next trip to the quilt shop? 👀

📍 Stop by Rocking Chair Quilts and grab what you need—we promise not to judge how full your bag gets 😉

Betty Ford Smith, a teacher-turned-quilter, is renowned for preserving the traditional “Pine Cone” quilt pattern. She learned this intricate hand-stitched technique from a 92-year-old African American woman named Miss Sue (Arlene Dennis), whose story—along with her own—she documented in the book “Miss Sue and the Pine Cone Quilt.” She also authored “Pinecone Quilts: Keeping Tradition Alive – Learn to Make Your Own Heirloom.” Betty’s quilts have been exhibited in major national museums, including the Smithsonian. The “Pine Cone,” also known as the “Pine Burr,” is created by sewing folded fabric triangles side by side on a base in concentric circles, forming a rich, textured surface.

Stay tuned. I'm in the process of organizing to purge my fabric collection. There is not enough time in this lifetime to use it all. Time to share the wealth.

At least this is how I am looking at it....🙄

Happy Friday, everyone!✂️💟🧵🪡

Maybe this is what my husband thinks I mean when I say "Stitch in the Ditch". LOL!
