SCRAP QUILTING in Postcards 4

That’s what I make, scrap quilts. Each piece of fabric is a little bit from a source like a dress or a gift from a friend. This is a crib quilt for a granddaughter. Yes, there are two major errors in it, but I didn’t see the errors until the quilt was finished. Finished means that it’s all together and quilted. I’m not about to take a finished quilt apart to fix a couple of mistakes.

Right now I am making a king sized quilt, and so far there are no errors in it. Why…because it’s an abstract piece. The last strip of the center panel is almost done. I spent hours on it yesterday and can tell you that it’s not at all boring.

I joined a Facebook group, “Scrap Quilt Enthusiasts,” this week. These folks are really a creative and inspiring bunch. I’ve made so few quilts since I began in 1989 that hesitate to share many with them…each is filled with errors. I’m sure learning lots from the folks in the group tho. I have hopes their presence in my life will push me into more quilting.
