Using orphan quilt blocks in a zippered project with a hidden zipper

A Clever Way to Use Orphan Blocks and Hide a Zipper Beautifully

We all seem to gather a little collection of orphan blocks along the way, those lovely leftover blocks from projects that never quite found their place. In this clever video from Sew Wendyful, you learn a wonderful way to give those blocks a happy home, and as a lovely bonus, you also pick up the neat trick of hiding a zipper so it looks beautifully professional.

Here is why this one is worth watching:

  • Your orphan blocks finally shine. Instead of sitting in a drawer, those single blocks become the star of a sweet, useful make.
  • The zipper trick is a game changer. Learning to tuck a zipper away neatly instantly lifts your projects from homemade to properly polished.
  • Two skills in one. You come away with a lovely finished idea and a handy technique you will reach for again and again.

Do you have a little stash of orphan blocks waiting for the right project? I would love to hear what you might turn yours into.
