Can I make anything pretty out of this?
While helping my mother downsize last summer, we came across this box of fabric scraps that had been used by us both to make clothing during the 60's and 70's. I kept it because it seemed to make her happy to remember the fabrics and what we had made out of them. Her 85th birthday is coming up in January, and I'd like to make her a quilt out of these scraps. I have everything from corduroy to wool to double knits to psychedelic cottons. As a novice quilter, I can't look at this pile and "see" a quilt in it. Any suggestions as to what I can do with this? I'll need some big blocks and some small blocks in the pattern due to scrap sizes and pattern sizes. Please, I hope there's someone out there that is creative enough to help me with this pile of chaos. Thanks.
