Scrappy quilts are so cheerful and fun! Great job!
|
That's a great quilt. Maybe the mystery of the never ending supply of scraps in our possession will never be answered. Personally I think they reproduce at night when we're not looking. LOL.

Love your scrappy - beautiful use of your scraps!
And yes, my scraps reproduce also = sometimes the result is a fabric scrap that I am sure I never bought the mother or father fabric for! |
I really like that layout, it makes a beauty!

Welcome to the world of "NEW MATH". Same thing happens here too! LOL! Love your scrap quilt though. Scrap quilts are my favorites!

The key word in your post would seem to be "logic". There is no logical explanation for the mathematics or biology when it comes to quilting. I am a fairly new quilter, have only made 6 or 7 quilts, yet I already have 2 containers full of scraps! This does not happen in any other artistic pursuit! Painters use up their paints, knitters, crocheters and needle pointers use up their yarn, potters use up their clay. I could go on, but you get my drift. :)

I like your scrappy, & yes, I think they multiply the more you use them "up".

Thanks for letting me know about the foundation. I've read that some use phone books. We very, very seldom get a real phone book. What do you use that you may have at home as a foundation?
TIA |
