Orphan Block Table Topper -- A Friday Finish

My son and I found this set of blocks back in July when we were cleaning the quilt room.  It is now a fall table topper.


The blocks were left behind by a quilter that had passed on.  She left a lot of things for me.  I backed it with this blue floral fabric that was also hers.  I quilted it using the Circle Lord giant template board called Bubbles.


I shared my finish with The Ravelry group for Fall Quarter Finishes here.

This is my first 4th quarter finish.

It's on my quarterly list. I haven't posted the "BIG" list lately. I don't want to deal with that. This one is managable for me.
