Getting Started on Lil' Orphan Scrappy

Lil' Orphan Scrappy is one of those quilts that I've had plans to make for quite a few years. For sure, it has been on my goals list for at least 2 years prior to this year, and possibly 3. I just never could pull the trigger on what fabrics to use. Basically, it has been 'marinating' for a good long while.

My first block is nothing special - looks a bit washed out - but I will use it. I need 70 stars with varying light and dark fabrics surrounding them, so this will meld in with the overall quilt most definitely.

 My second block has a bit more interest; I am going to enjoy seeing how all these stars and their surrounding triangles come together. 

I have quite a lot of remnants of Morris Apprentice/William Morris fabrics from a quilt I made years ago called Tapestry. Check out this golden oldie from 2014. Then my quilting friend Becky handed off some of her Wm. Morris remnants to join mine, and I bought a fat 8ths bundle, so I have plenty to make this quilt. 

Happy as a clam over here, selecting pretty combinations to make these 6" stars. I will do a lot of those for now, and then think about adding the surrounding triangles later.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
