Gifted scrap fabric

A lovely long-time customer of mine brought over a pile of scraps for me today.  See photo.  She has been cleaning out her fabrics and donating the larger pieces to MCC and she gave me these because she knows I love to work on scrap quilts.  What a treasure of fabric.  I am going to have fun sorting through them.  My mind is overflowing with ideas right now.


There are fabrics from every colour of the rainbow.  Lots of narrow strips for strip blocks and tons of charm and 2.5" squares.  I am going to have fun fun fun.

Here is a good picture of our big boy.  Finally one where he is looking at me and not hiding or glaring.  It is hard to believe that he will be eight this summer.

Here is a picture of the 1600 quilt top that I am making for Jeff and Jackie's silent auction.  I still have to buy the border fabric and quilt it.  I am just quilting something simple and allover.


I have used the blue batik as the inner border and am going for something green for the outer border.  I better get to the fabric store soon.  The social is in April and March is tomorrow.

Back to work for me.  I just wanted to post the photo of the fabric before I sort it and put it in their bins.

Happy stitching.
