I love making scrap quilts. I love using up fabrics that people have thrown away, and I love meeting old friends (fabric friends) along the way. I always marvel at how fabric scraps can bring back memories of where it was bought, who you were with, when and what it was for.
From the top there is shoe fabric bought in New York, remnant of a madras skirt, brushed cotton pyjama fabric bought for son about 20 years ago, batik strip from quilt made for said son 2 years ago, leaf fabric from Rocheberie challenge, horses from great nephew’s baby quilt (he’s now nearly 6), yellow batik Christmas present, Michael Miller fabric bought in Monmouth and blue fabric rescued from husband’s old shirt.
And here is my crumb and string drawer. All sorts of goodies in here (plus some baddies!). Bonnie Hunter says, If it’s still ugly, you haven’t cut it small enough! So, with that in mind, here are some of her scrappy courtyard steps.
That will surely make in dint in the scraps!
