A nice quilter in my town gifted me a large bag of her scraps and unwanted blocks. I sashed and backed them with my own fabric and spent the last 3 days doing tight FMQ and quilted, embroidered feathered designs in the four corners of each block. I still need to hand stitch the back of the binding and throw it in the wash to "shrinkify" it. :> The quilt isn't my colors, but will make a nice gift for someone. It's fun to take other people's "trash" and turn it into a treasure. I've got one more small quilt in the works from her blocks. So, to any quilters out there that have blocks they don't want...don't chuck them. Give them to someone to make use of! Yes, the points in this one weren't perfect and the blocks needed some help...but, I hate to see someone's hard work go to waste. Hope you like it:>
