two years ago, someone gave me a box of scraps and most of the pieces were small....
she said, all you have to do is sew them together and keep sewing them together....
I got so much joy from picking and sorting from all the fabric ,which piece I wanted next....
well I made a big quilt top....it was a crazy quilt sorta....maybe just rag pieces sewn together.
But till this day I am so proud of it....
When I go visit my friend and see her prized quilts, sometimes I see some of the same fabric,
that I have in my quilt at home, all from the precious box of scraps she gave me....and the simple instructions....

One person's scrap is another's stash.....then again all of it is a treasure!

I'd love to see a picture too! This reminds me of an idea I had recently to start collecting fabric during my marriage (I'm a newlywed) so that I could make a memory quilt after a few years. Or maybe make a block each year and keep adding them to one another. That way when we hit 20 years, we'll have a full sized quilt.
