That is lovely and so scrappy, a great history for you. I am mostly a scrap quilter, even if it is a planned one (like many scraps of red and blue) and so is my mom. When we finish one(mostly she finishes, mine end up as UFOs, we always look at the scraps and say things like "boy, we've used that print in a lot of quilts" and "I'm sorry that it's the last of that one", etc. Since we both use out of the same stash a lot, I can look at mine and see pieces that was in hers. When I haven't seen her for a week or so, I look at the scraps in my quilts, because some of them remind me of her.
