Quilter's Challenge - Orphan Blocks

Today, we are going to show you how to make an easy and fun quilt top with Sam's Challenge with Orphan blocks. Psst! Can I let you in on a secret? There is a Quilter’s challenge coming up on YouTube, on March 6, 2026! A quick overview: A dynamic and engaging monthly collaboration among YouTube quilting creators. Each month, one creator will issue a challenge to the group and our viewers, sparking creativity, storytelling, and community engagement. The challenges will be fun, quirky, and maybe push us outside of our standard creative bubble and comfort zone. It may also teach some new skills and problem solving. Here are the participants and the date of their video: March 6, 2026 -    / @conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509   April 10, 2026 -    / @bitspiecesquilting   May 1, 2026 -    / @kelleysquiltsplus   June 5, 2026 -    / @futurecatnz   July 3, 2026 -    / @quiltingcurvestudio   August 7, 2026 -    / @sewwithdebee   September 4, 2026 -    / @sillymoonquiltingco.9577   We hope you all will play and sew along with us!
