Clean Slate, Sort Of

 It is once again time for Project Quilting.  The current challenge is based on the 2026 Color of the Year, which is a white.  Obviously, the people that do this are still enamored with the White/Black/Gray color palette (sterile, boring, cold).  Shoot me, I like color.  Even the author of the challenge couldn't just say the challenge was white.  She gave it the name "Clean Slate".

I have been cleaning in my sewing room.  We won't discuss how much I needed to do that.  I knew I had a box of orphan blocks, but I found another large tray of orphan blocks.  I decided in 2026 I need to make charity quilts using orphan blocks.  Here is the first one.


I used up 6 orphan blocks and ended up with something I think a 2 year old would drag around.  I also found polyester batting and used some of that.

And to prove I have been cleaning:



Thanks for looking,
Nancy

ps.  I don't really have a clean slate as I haven't finished the birthday card for the girl that turned 11 on December 31rst.

  1. Using up 6 orphan blocks goes a long ways towards a clean slate in my book; nicely done!
