Do you ever "rescue orphan quilt blocks"?

Weirdly enough, when I told people (at one of the sewing courses I attended last year) about me wishing to become a better free motion quilter, there were some orphan blocks that found their way to me.

This lone fox (pattern by Elizabeth Hartman, and yeah, I'm a fan!), to which I've added an odd yellow/orange rest fabric as border. Not sure what will happen to this fox.

And then, because of one quilt I saw at Rachel Houser's blog "Stiched in Color", I dug out  yellow crumbs from their folder box and some matching yellow solids, and made these.

Not sure where I'm going with them either.

But they at least made the yellow fabric scraps a little less over-flowing in their box.
