So glad your video popped up! I always look forward to them and am never disappointed.

[@simplyquiltingwithnancysanders]

Can't wait to see your finished quilts.

[@elainelear4982]

So glad to see a new video from you. I love your method of quilting tops.

[@roxanneross1574]

I too would love to see the finished quilt it looks so far so very interesting

[@rosemaryrigney4251]

I have a box of orphan blocks that bring memories too. Where, When I learned to make them. Your design I think it will bea amazing quilt. Enjoy thte sewing of fun! Thank you for sharing

[@jenedelwilcox6647]

Isn't it fun to "walk down memory lane" with your quilt blocks. It was like sitting with a friend laughing and admiring (or not) each block. I really need to do this, too.

[@quiltgram3056]

Just what I was thinking as I watched. Her level of creativity is amazing. I have gone back and used orphan blocks but Never thought about separating into distinct piles in this manner. Thanks to the video I realized I had limited myself as I was separating the blocks. It's a phenomenal lesson on how to work more intuitively instead of just thinking. Remember Norah kept saying, ' I keep feeling?" Inspirational.

I was glad to see a new video from you, too...we think different in some ways and alike in others. The differences makes the videos that much more interesting.

Oh my this is such fun - what a unique 'eye' you have - i'm jealous!!

[@pamlacey136]

For some reason your videos have not been popping up on my KZbin even though I am subscribed and have the “bell” selected! So I now have several to go back and watch! I truly enjoy your videos as they inspire me to try to be more random and creative in my quilting. Even though I am loving the traditional and modern fabrics I usually stick to a pattern, which I enjoy. But I would like to also be able to do more random blocks like you have done in this video. I am really looking forward to seeing what your final quilt is; this is so fun! Thank you so much for sharing………………..

[@saramcintosh2183]

Can’t wait for the end result. I might be tempted to make an animal or nature quilt!

[@barbaramatthews4735]

This is encouraging me to save blocks and scraps. I have been tossing my left overs. I think that it is interesting how a whole quilt can emerge from left overs.

[@cherylbrown4058]

This was a great start, hope you keep going and continue to combine until you get where you want it to be. It’s a good incentive for those of us that have all those orphan blocks to just start combining and going from there. Thanks for the motivation.

[@susanvansluyters4470]

What fun! Like opening a bunch of little gifts. 😊 (I’ve missed your videos.) Looking forward to seeing your finished projects.

[@christinejernigan5748]

Wow...looking at all of your blocks was so inspiring! So many beautiful' different ones. I also loved your sorting sense !

[@maryanne2500]

You are so creative and have no fear. Love it all. Welcome back. ❤

[@saundraweed9738]

So glad to see how to use the left overs and odd practices pieces I keep saving. Can’t wait to see how you finish putting your pieces together. Separating them into color groups first gives you a whole different approach to creating a unified looking piece. Thanks

[@kitzimmerman9843]

Happy to see you back!

[@paulaneary7877]

WOW Nora, you have sewed quite a bit. I like your style and how you take time to curate how you put your blocks together so it comes out looking balanced and cohesive. Sometimes I get in a rush and don't take enough time just looking at stuff and making sure it is balanced and goes together, especially when I am working with scraps or orphan blocks. You are good at that, I could take a lesson from you! I will be interested to see what this one turns out like, I am sure it will be beautiful.

[@annas.r.p.5835]

GYPSY WIFE STYLE quilt is my go to pattern for when I have orphan blocks. I often use a strong vertical stripe as part of the back ground to help unite the blocks

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

This will be a great quilt! I love the tones and unique quality. I love scrappy quilts.

[@kathleenswan4184]

So glad to see you again. I missed you! I really enjoyed going through the blocks with you and remembering the videos you created!

[@kathycook3838]

Would of been nice to see a finished quilt that's done this way. However, it's a great idea.

[@DH-qz2so]

Peekaboo Blocks? How fun! Is there a video for that? Would be fun to incorporate them into an " I Spy" quilt for kids!

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Yes there is! The video is called “Peekaboo Quilt Blocks”. Thanks for watching!

[@rachelburgener819]

Wellll I’m glad I checked this out!!! It was great to see your process or sorting and thinking out loud. I’m newer yo quilting and don’t have this passle(?!) of blocks yet😝. I was thinking if a separate tree quilt. Thank you, I’m excited to see the different projects come together🤔🧐. ❤️😀

[@mariejohns1387]

Just have fun with it!! Dont think too long or too hard. Puzzle quilts go together really well with black sashing. Maybe you will like the other blocks done that way. They have great potential

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Maybe a few tree blocks with the elephant? Frogs would go nice with elephants also. maybe the pink Tula blocks with the peekaboo?

[@viviannefraser5974]

This was great a different video for us quilters or wanta be quilters!🥰

[@AuntDi2]

Good to see you! It’s been a minute!

[@laurarice9379]

Have you thought about a theme quilt for all of the trees? So excited to see how you'll put all these different blocks together!! Happy piecing.

[@debiogle3798]

I love love these fabrics!

[@maryswarts2282]

Oooo fun bag of "tricks"

[@earlinemcgahen3931]

Id have made a quilt with the house, animals butterflies and trees in a kid quilt

[@lindastrous5243]

I think you should do a tree quilt. Great to see you again. Come back soon.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

I put a bunch of those trees in a quilt recently. The video is called “Guild Project- From Tree Blocks”. Thanks for watching!

[@lindastrous5243]

@@mostlyquilts1386 yes, I have seen that video. Trees are some of my favorites in Central Pennsylvania (Montoursville) we have a lot of trees. They make me happy.

[@carolynmills513]

I'm going to make bowl cozies from extra bocks.

[@cathyblood6864]

I love all these muted fabric pieces you put together. It is a rich muted, not dull and boring! Are a lot of those from any particular line(s) of fabric? I would love to get some similar prints if you can remember. Thanks! Can't wait to see the final result!

[@Dranma51]

Isn’t a crazy quilt supposed to be crazy, not too much thought or planning? Or are you not planning a crazy quilt?

[@mostlyquilts1386]

This is not a crazy quilt.

[@Dranma51]

@@mostlyquilts1386 Ok, thanks! Are you going to show the finished top? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
