naughty? Moi???? surely, you jest! LOL
Bonnie Hunter (quiltville.com) writes so well.
Not to worry about running out of scraps - - there are some quilters who absolutely do NOT do scraps! and, bless their hearts, they pass them on to talented quilters such as yourself.
Is now the time to tell y'all about my teaching my DSIL about shopping at her local thrift store for the TONS of fine shirts, skirts, blouses, and sheets just wanting to jump into your scrap stash???
Not all thrift stores are created equal, and in my home area, the senior citizen thrift stores and Goodwill are the bees knees for finding those special colors. I am not a purist ... I will blend polys into my quilts, if that is the color I want. I tend to stay within a weight family. However, on the back, I use 100% cotton, since polyesther tends to not cuddle so well as a well-washed cotton.

Once all those ladies realize the possibilities that are there for scraps, they won't give them to me anymore. See, selfish. :oops:
Now I have to check out the new thread. Thanks for putting one up!
