The idea to add orphaned blocks is fabulous. They will add focus and interest and you still get to use up plenty of scraps =) Thanks for sharingPuppilallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837351265101418178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-83669541564263377752017-04-18T11:36:09.223+12:002017-04-18T11:36:09.223+12:00Beautiful coordinated scrappyness!
