I’ve been bad
I promised myself I would not start a new project until I finished some unfinished ones I’m working on. But yesterday I just couldn’t help myself. I was straightening up and I came across some blue and white fabric scraps my aunt gave me for a snowball quilt I want to make. I’ve got about […]
The scrap quilt is coming along
I finally finished sewing my 400th flying geese unit last weekend for the scrap quilt I’m working on. It was a good feeling, let me tell you. I still have to piece a couple dozen quarter square triangles, and then all the 4.5-inch units that make up my 16-inch blocks will be complete. I’ve been […]
