Forgive those who make comments like that -- they have no idea. Those scraps that would have been thrown away will make beautiful quilts for people who cherish them as they cuddle up in them. When I'm having a bad day I just walk into my quilt room and I feel so much better. I got no less than 5 'thank you's' from someone I gave my last quilt to...she'd had surgery, and several of these 'thank you's' arrived when I was having a lousy day, and when she was getting some real comfort from the quilt during a rough recovery. The quilts aren't award winners by any means, but I feel good making them, and those who receive them feel good receiving them -- win, win! I'm presently cutting up some of the smallish pieces into preset sizes for bins (thank you, Bonnie Hunter!). So when I'm ready to make the next quilts, I'll just have to start sewing.
