And someone from American Quilter's Society contacted me to see if I was interested in having it be considered for inclusion in the 2026 Quilt Art Engagement Calendar.
It has already received ribbons from three quilt shows... all this for a quilt that was made with orphaned blocks and leftover materials from other quilts that I had made. One never knows where your scraps will go!
Congrats on all the praise your quilt is receiving...well deserved. I love the backstory of how it came to be using scraps and orphan blocks. I am amazed at the tiny star border and how all the stars are in a row without getting crooked.
