When I first thought about putting all my left over clothing fabric scraps together, I got some ideas while milking cows. I thought about it a long time, then started to top stitch one piece to the next with a decorative stitch. Of course it got too big and wouldn't lay flat. I finished the queen sized top, but had to slice it in two places to get rid of the "bubbles". The quilt was tied and was around until it was truly worn out. Then I found out it works better if you work with smaller squares!
