Our Scrappy quilts originated from using leftover fabric from making clothing. We used to save all our scraps and send them to my grandmother, who made templates from cereal boxes and cut pieces with scissors, and we delighted in finding our dress or blouse fabric in one of her quilts. I still have some of them in my keepsakes, and one is so worn and used, it is pitiful, but I am keeping it just for old times sake. We use our quilts, and I am trying to use UP all my collected fabrics before that last ticket off this earth. Hope I make it!! I hope to post one here soon. ;-)
