My first quilt contained pieces of leftovers from clothing that I had made for my husband and son and myself. I couldn't waste all those good leftovers!. I used to sew a lot, so I had lots of leftovers. I added just a little to fill out the quilt. It's a brick pattern, browns, tan and yellow with red for the 'mortar'. For a while, I also put a piece of material left from making my wedding dress in all my quilts, too, as a sort of personal i.d. Because I had never quilted before, I tied it. Still have it, after 30 years.
