HI from western Colorado
I just got signed up after lurking here for a few weeks.
I am new to trying to set blocks with slashing and all that good stuff. Over the years I have made a few quilt to keep us warm kind. Just heavier material cut in to blocks and sewed. I have all this scrap left over from sewing I needed to use up. And I had bought more. I do need to get it used up. I work full time till 72 and I would buy a few yards and put it away for quilts.
I moved here to northwestern Colorado this year. Out in the gas and oil fields to be near my son. Just turned 81. No stores for quilt stuff here and I stocked up. I got mess and the rest of my material has not been moved here yet. I am working on 16 patches I sewed to get rid of scrap. Little scrap of this and that. If it didnot cut a little block it got tossed or cut a 13 in strip for strip quilts. I went though a lot of boxes and bags of it. (I had made cabbage patch type clothes to sell at craft shows and this was the scrap) But I have all kinds of materials. Got to figure out how to use it up.
