LOVE FOR 3 ORANGES

                                                                    Orange star

                                                                Flying Oranges

                                                            Ojos Oranjas

  These three Orange minis make a total of 5 finishes----so far ;
                             They are all layered up and ready to be hand quilted...

***********************************************
Right now I am working on "H-Improv":

                                          Mostly in the evenings while watching tv....

                         I've been working on these for the RSC linky party this month.....

                                          And, I  have whittled down my oranges considerably...

ORANGE SLICES

                                                     Itty Bitty orange sections.....

                                                          This little star block is 4.5" -- and 
                                         I wanted to use that pretty gift fabric from 
                                             DAWN who is having a little SAL on her site...
                                                 go visit to see what it's all about....
You will see bits and scraps of that fabric throughout.....
;))) 
thanks Dawn...

                                                           of a long coping strip of squares
                                                             and some squares within squares...

                                                                          OJOS Oranja

These incorporate the failed string tulip--I tried to make 
I just cut 'er up and used the strings on these Ojos...
Sooo, I used scraps of scraps  hahaha..

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

                                                             Some Crumb blocks.....
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

                     
                                                              






A few bigger
blocks.......perhaps
for a center???




&&&&&&&&&&
                                                    ↡↡↡↡


                                                And larger squares within a squares......

                                           And (phew) if you read this far--Congrats!!;)))


   Here is my wall right now.....(sorry for the darkish photo--no sun AGAIN!!)  
                                          a total hodge-podge of blocks....

*******************************************

I have a few more crumb blocks started and a few more minis....
but for the most part
the scraps are diminishing rapidly....YES!!!

It is truly amazing how many 
orange scraps I had on hand...
I had no idea....

The only other time 
I used orange was in Steven's quilt...
which was a spider web orange...that I made 4 years ago--
this bag of scraps 
hasn't been touched since then.


*****************************************************************
I have begun quilting my "H"Improv in the evenings while tv watching.


And my big "Orange Circle-ish" is ready to be quilted as a separate piece...

                                                                       ↟↟↟↟↟↟                              
                         A little tabletopper using up the rest of Dawn's fabric gift, 

I will be linking up with Angela at Superscrappy along with all the other 
February "oranger sewists" for Rainbow Scrap Challenge...[RSC] .

***********************************************************
Tomorrow we are having company so I am writing this Friday; we are experiencing
really heavy winds and hoping the power doesn't go off!!;0000

I hope your weekend will be a wonderful one....
