Chasing orange piglets

Finally orange!
That orange fabric transfusion has really made it easier to make orange piglets, I'll tell ya!  I'll get back to my stash of orange scraps in a week or so, but in the meantime these spiffy fat quarters are making me smile.
I started this little piggie yesterday, as a leader/ender while making those itty bitty 365 Challenge blocks, then finished it up today.


And his little friend was also part of today's playtime.


And since I didn't get to flash any orange last Saturday for RSC, I figured I'd better make up for lost time.
A Jacks and Sixes (aka Hovering Hawks, aka Charlie, for all I know)


and a couple of Buckeye Beauties.


Though technically I'm in Maryland, not Ohio, so should they be Crabby Beauties?



Linking with So Scrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday, where I'll be happily hanging out with my fellow scrappers.  Come see all the fun!
