that's more like it


Now, this quilt, I LOVE!

It was inspired by this flickr group.

It is a total scrap quilt except for a bit of the white.

It is a lap size, measuring 54" x 70".

I will be sending it to my friend, Jill, who lives in AZ, and is battling cancer.

I will be signing off for the rest of the week. We are on spring break (which means that we got dumped on with snow) and we are headed up to MN to spend some time with my sis.

See you next week.
Be good while I'm gone.

    Sooooooooooooo
    Can I just send all my fabrics to you and see how fast you can come up with finished projects of any kind? I have never known anyone accomplish as much as you do and still have family time and daily time and all of other than craft time. YOU amaze me!
    Have a great spring break !

I thought maybe you would like to read a couple new adjectives! Hmmm so lets see... I would say it is.... Kaleidescopically Delicious (and awfully cozy looking!)

    ReplyDelete
  78. I have been looking all through your blog and I am amazed at your wonderful and prolific work! If I may ask, did you have all the fabric on hand as scraps for this quilt or did you go buy especially co-ordinating fabric? fat quarters perhaps? I would love to know your "recipe" for this quilt! The colors are wonderful.

  79. edna,

    this was indeed all scraps from my scrap bucket over several months. some of the white was bought or from the stash, but the rest was truly scraps.
