Free Monthly Quilt Block Patterns
An Easy Sew Finish for the Blog Hop
A while back, Carla from Creatin’ in the Sticks announced her upcoming blog hops. I participate when my schedule looks available. The Orange You Glad blog hop was it! I thought it sounded fun and it had me thinking of fall weather and changing colors – one being orange!
Fall is probably my time of year in Michigan. The weather cools, the leaves of plants and trees change to beautiful colors, and the harvest of fresh fruits and vegetables is amazing!
In choosing a project for this blog hop, I went to my box of unfinished items. What I found was a block made by a friend’s mother. It was shades of orange, but was 8-sided! I added corner triangles, the quilting, and a binding. It is a lovely little table topper for the season.
Here is today’s list of participants. I hope you enjoy the blog hop and see many great projects!

What a wonderful finish. So nice of you to keep the integrity of the original block while making it your own.
A lucky find with a pretty finish. Well done.
A wonderful finish! And one less UFO. a win/win.
Lovely block! I think adding the corners was the right thing to do. Thanks for sharing!
It’s always so great when a hop helps us to make finishes. This one is gorgeous. I love fast finishes. Thank you for joining the Orange You Glad Blog Hop!!
Super idea to draw from the UFO box. Autumn makes me think of orange, too. Cute star.
Great way to finish the unfinished! It came out great.
Fall is definitely my favorite time of the year, and these toppers are a perfect way to start celebrating it!
Pretty oranges!
Lovely way to finish this UFO!
Your block is beautiful! I love blog hops for motivation and sometimes to spur me on to finish a UFO. Thank you for sharing!
I love autumn too, although we don’t see it often in Houston. Your project is very pretty!
Fast finishes are the best! Although, I never seem to make any of those. Great quilt. Thank you for sharing your wonderful quilt.
