Another great idea for a blog hop from Carla at Creatin'in the sticks.
Now my first obvious thought was to do an orange peel quilt, I have a pattern for one they is in my one day file in my head but I couldn't find the pattern I can see it its a loose piece from either a magazine or shop brochure but I couldn't find it. So then I thought I am on a mission to finish my huge pile of WIP'S so I pulled out the Happiness Quilt circa 2014 from Monica Poole it was published in Homespun magazine as a block of the month done as a quilt as you go. I bought the material in March 2014, sewed some of the blocks in April 2017 on a weekend sewing trip and then last year I finished the rest of the blocks last year. So it is time to start quilting as I go

Lots of lovely orange projects there.
Orange you glad you joined this hop. Aren't these hops just the best incentive to get UFO's out of hiding. Love all of your projects and look forward to seeing some of them completed. Best of luck in your new job and with your new machine.
So much work. Beautiful.
Nice orange UFO project to work on for this blog hop!
That tree applique is beautiful! It's nice to work on some ufo's once in a while. Thanks for sharing yours!
I love it when a hop comes along to help finish those UFOs. Love that tree and I'm sure you will get this one finished in no time. Thanks for hopping in the Orange You Glad Blog Hop. Good luck in the new job!
I love it when someone uses their UFOs to choose and project. This was perfect - isn't it wonderful to finish something?
That tree is gorgeous!
The never ending pile of UFO's. Sometimes I look at my pile mine to see if I want to work on one that I forgot about and see it with fresh eyes again. I do from time to time make something from my UFO's. It's great that you are working on one of yours and you will be so happy that you finished it. It's a great looking tree.
UFO's...where would we be if they were all finished. LOL!! You had a beautiful one with the tree though. What fun to get back to it and bring it to life. I love the other blocks in that quilt as well. Hope you get all your chores done and can finish this beauty!
Lovely. I really love your tree. So happy and pretty. Thanks for sharing.
I sure hope you find your pattern - thats too funny that it ran away from you!
Beautiful projects! Hope you find your other pattern

The tree is beautiful and your quilting really makes it pop! Thank you for sharing your orange pretties!
What pretty orange-y projects! Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful applique project! Your orange tree looks like my peach and pear tree right now--loaded down and branches almost hitting or actually hitting the ground. Thanks for sharing your amazing work.
Thank you for your comments, we actually have 4 orange trees and a mandarin that are bursting, I should have included photos of them
