I make string/scrap quilts to donate to our local vet clinic. Our daughter works there. Over the past couple of years, I made at least 2 dozen quilts or more 30" x 36" and my string tub is still full. They just don't go down.

I gave most of my strings, small pieces, etc. away when we moved.

I miss the potential of them.

very nice Kalama! But who or what is Ms. Duckworth? They look very interesting and I always love a scrappy.

I have a box of crumbs near my machine, and when I want to "have a sew" but not make a project, I dip in and make crumb blocks, each is like a little picture, I trim to 6 1/2" .Recently, my 13 y.o. granddaughter wanted to learn to use the machine, and made 4 lovely crumb blocks, used the rotary cutter without blood being spilled, and just LOVED spraying everything with Mary Ellen's, then using my mini iron.I hope she will continue to sew, I may even leave her some stash (when the time comes!)

You can see a lot of Duckworth quilts on this FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/48642187499.

They are very simple to make and the color variations are beautiful. They get their name from Joann Merrill Duckworth's quilts. Pinterest has a lot, too.
