Scrap quilts are not scraps
Made 2 scrap quilts. Kind of yucky but will do. Dogs will love. So? Mistake was pulling out a bag of scraps: putting hand in bag. Pulling out scrap and piecing. Ummmm. So, a scrap quilt has to have some symmetry, some color balance and enough fabric to be eye pleasing. So?? scrap quilts are s--crap. Thank goodness I have a baby go cutter. Makes it easy. I am going to create my own charm packs. Yup! they have gone up to $12. Then one hour a day I will cut: 2 1/2 " strips and 1 3/4" strips and if large enough 8 1/2 inch blocks. Then I will work on different sizes until my bags and bags of scraps have been used up. It seams scrap quilts only look right when the sizes are the same. Geez!!!!
