Orphan Adoption! Sew Kitschy Quilt Blocks are in the Giveaway Kitty!

Quilting is more fun than Housework

With only hours left to link up with the Quilty Orphan Adoption event at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework,
I have selected my Sew Kitschy blocks this time around! 
I think the radio would make a great tote bag!
There are six completed blocks, patterns, and some fabric scraps to help tie things together if you want to make the three remaining blocks.
This is so free-ing!

I hopped on the Sew Kitschy Quilt Along in 2013, to gain some paper-piecing skills. Kristy, at Quiet Play, has wonderful patterns and her QAL's are irresistible! My grandfather's cabin in Canada remained in my mind as I selected fabrics for these blocks. The oranges and greens were all about the kitchen. Well, it was all-about many homes back in the 70's, but the cabin was my inspiration. We had a set of these I recall..
Some of the fabrics are from my vintage stash and very lightweight. Fine for a wallhanging I think, but so you are aware. I am keeping my top-fave block to make something for my own kitchen,
The mixer pattern is included though, as for the two blocks I did not finish. I altered the teapot pattern in an attempt to create Grandpa's percolator, but regret that the top is not darker. So, most of the patterns are included and a few bits of fabric, including a half a yard or so of the Mumm teapot fabric I was planning to use with the backing.

 Random Drawing will be in one week, Sunday morning, Sept 25th, to select the recipient. I have NO rules or preference regarding what you plan to do with the blocks, but you must provide a US address for free shipping! Just leave a comment on this post to let me know you would like to be included in the drawing!

This is such a great event, Thank you Cynthia! Check out all the giveaways HERE!

Remember the little baby kit I Orphaned last time? In July, I received a note from Diane, with this photo of the quilt she and her guild finished for charity!

Cute! They changed it up with a windmill pattern. This event is a triple-win!

    Thanks for participating in the event! I still haven't sewn up my sew kitschy blocks either. Someone is going to adopt some great blocks! (And you don't have to finish up that block nine which took me days to finish!)

    My Mum had that mixer. It reminds me so much of her. I just have to make it and put it in a family quilt. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.

    Great blocks. Your fabric choices definitely give it that 50s feel.

    Wow Heidi - I can't believe you are going to give these away. The blocks are so cool! I love the colors you used too - very retro. Just wanted to say that, but am not in for the giveaway. Too many of my own things to work on. :)
    This really is a triple win event.

    Oh, these blocks are just great. I am looking for projects that I can finish and donate to my quilting group's fundraiser for a better more durable longarm quilting machine. This would be perfect. Sometimes it's easier to finish someone else's work than start a new project. Thanks.
