Orphan Blocks Runner...pinwheels

Another finish for January 2013..
I can't even remember what quilt these blocks are left over from....I must have gifted that quilt ages ago....gosh that's how long they have been lying around in the cupboard!
Well they were too pretty to throw away, so a new runner was created.

I thought it best to do very simple free motion quilting , so it would stand up to lots of laundering....plus (smile) I really do love doing these loops and hearts quilting.
The mitred border is simply a small meander.
Don't you just love it when you have a beautiful finish and  created something beautiful out of almost nothing....
 
Have a great day.....creating something beautiful too!.....♥

    Beautiful job of making something nice from leftover parts. How many finishes is this so far? (I've had zero!)

    A lucky find with fabulous results. I do enjoy your colour combinations. I must learn to soften my colour choices a little.

    The best feeling comes from doing exactly what you did--creating something lovely from a forgotten project or leftovers. Lovely quilting, Julia! I like the hearts design you used. It's perfect with those delicate florals.
