Last scrappy orange day

Yesterday was the last day of orange month, and although I thought I'd make a couple more orange churn dashes, it didn't happen.  I did manage to put this quilt top together with the scrappy log cabins I was working on in my last post....two and a half weeks ago!  My computer lost it's way, thanks to a Windows 10 upgrade, and after waiting nearly two weeks for  it to be repaired, I then had trouble connecting to my service provider.  After having 3 techs all go through the same troubleshooting with me, and disagreeing with me that it was the modem, a week later a 4th decided yes, it was and arranged for me to get a new one!   Bah!


This orange number still needs to be quilted, but when it's finished, it's off to Maya's Rest, a respite centre for seriously ill children in country NSW.  Donations of quilts and rugs For Maya's Rest has been organised by Knit4Charities and is one of their April charities of the month.  It needs to be finished and in the mail by next Friday, and since today is grey and wet, once Mirrhi has had her walk, I'll be staying indoors to work on this, as well as my son's quilt, which is progressing nicely.

To see more delicious orange projects,  hop on over to the RSC link up.

I'll be back tomorrow with a long over-due F2F catch-up.  I'm Miss April, so there's plenty of blocky goodness to show as squishy parcels have been arriving in my mailbox.

'till then....have a good day.

  1. That lovely is going to make some child very much happier. Gorgeous oranges, one of my favourites, and beautifully teamed with blue. Glad your computer saga has finally been sorted out - and you were right all along!

    1. Thanks, the orange is sparkly, and I found the blue tucked away in my stash, it has a tiny orange figure on it, which is hard to see in the pic, but goes very well. don't you love it when the techy nerds are wrong....it was very annoying and frustrating for a while!

  3. Your orange blocks are so much fun to look at, very well done. I also do kids charity quilts, so rewarding. Keep up the good work!

  4. Kids charity quilts are a good way to use scraps, they can be such bright and fun quilts. There are pieces of kid fabrics in there, so a little bit of I Spy as well.
