I have two more, one by the bed, and one on the tray I carry around the house for hand sewing, they only have thread in them, no fabric. I think it is a German wordhttp://kalamaquilts.blogspot.com/200...e-ort-ort.html
This one is nearly 3/4 full now, and I started it in 2009
Any scrap I can cut down to 1-1/2" I save, so there are pretty tiny pieces here. I cut frugally!

I have loved those illusion quilts and peoples choice of fabric for the new mystery. I agree with so many of the statements made, too numerous to mention now. I can't wait to see the steps as they go along. I know in watching a doing some of Judy's mystery train rides that when some people showed their color selections, I was horrified, but the finished project was amazing. Kudo's to the brave that attempt, and it definitely is something to "just have fun" with. Now.....what's a flimsy, please.
