Scraps

My quilt friend, Nancy, told me about getting free scraps from a fabric marketing company. When she went there with her friends last time, she got 120 boxes….
So we called the company and they had 12 boxes available.
We went there at 9 am and got back around 10 am. I carried all the boxes into her house because she has back and hip problems.



When we started opening the boxes, our faces had big smiles. We seemed to be opening treasure boxes.
Of course, some scraps were very stiff or not 100% cotton, but I think we've got a lot of goodies.
We choose a lot of nice scraps and the rest of the boxes Nancy will give to her cousins and friends. Scraps make everybody happy… :-)

Recently, I have been making a scrap quilt. This pattern is called "postage stamps".
I used floral fabric which I got from Nancy's friends. I cut 2.5 cm squares and sew them together. I will quilt a design in the white boxes.
This project is going to be a big tapestry. Anyway, I've got a lot of scraps so I have make more scrap quilts !!!!
