I was given all the orphan blocks from everyone's scrap bags at our local quilt group.
It was to make a charity quilt.
I decided I would give the GYPSY WIFE A GO.
I bought the pattern book from Amitie in Torquay.

I HAVE GOT ALL THE BLOCKS WORKED OUT.
Doesn't look like much so I happen it looks better when it's sewn.

I was given a few strips last week.
Now to wait for some more neutral strips to be donated so I can continue.

Wow, that is quite a job you have taken on! I'll look forward to seeing how you put it all together. Another friend is making Gypsy Wife all by hand, but she is changing the arrangement of the blocks to suit herself, which I guess you are too in this case.
WOW, what a project, it will be amazing when it's finished but it looks a big job. Happy stitching :)
That looks like a project and a half! Good luck working all those donations into a quilt. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Oh the mind boggles looking at all the ready made bits but I know you'll make them into a beautiful quilt.
I love love love orphan quilts! I used to make them at our state's annual retreat, but I have not been in many years. I won several of the quilts and have them all quilted up. They bring great memories!
