An Orphan Block Finds a Forever Home

When making the Jacob's Ladder Quilt that I finished recently, this yellow block just stood out like a sore thumb.

Its makes a handy, functional and cute pocket on this tote bag!

    Cute idea. I have been thinking about making some totes for the nursing home as Christmas presents. Adding an orphan block would be a good way to make each one different. Wish I hadn't gotten rid of all those orphan blocks when we moved. Thank you for sharing the idea.

    Great idea! I also have several orphan blocks that would look great adorning a tote.
