here are some more made out of the material from hice. the octag. i bought/had the green print and the small purple print.
some of the others, prob had store bought white added.

here's a couple more. hope you like them.

They're all lovely, but I have to say, I love love love the first one!

yes, i relooked at it, and even the white on that one was scrub material. it was grabbed quick by a daughter one yr, when i gave them their choices for xmas.

and the yellow in the yellow and blue was from LQS.

likewise the yellow and the white in the brown/starred quilt was purchased at the LQS

when you order from the factory, they ask you 'print', 'solid'
or a 'mixture'

Nice work.

All nice, but my favourite is with the gold stars.

They are just beautiful. Love them all.

thanks all of you. and they are thrifty. each box could make 50 queens, i bet. if you could work with the matarial in each box, and then add you backing and batting. $1 a quilt for the main colors. i usually just add whatever extra trim colors to make them pretty. the solid colors are usually a little muted. not bright red, or green, or purple. just slightly off the brightest color.

the little boy in the picture of the red and blue one is 8 now. and he is the one that got the quilt in the posting 'mistakes are okay'.

What is the name of the place you order these from. I guess I missed it. I have a friend that is a nurse and these would make a great scrappy quilt for her.

Yes! Inquiring minds want to know!! Where can we purchase the boxes of scraps?

it must have been in another post, HICE advertises or they did about 4 yrs ago, in the back of quilting magazines. the ad is about a 2" X 2" sq. block. quick quilt i know had it. they were $25 for about 100 lbs. + shipping. to n.c. was a cheaper than to michigan, which was an additional $25. they will ask you "print", "solids" or a "mixture". a couple times they didn't ask me, but be sure and specify what you want. the solids aren't a real 'brite' color, just l shade off the real brite. you have to think, dr, lab, nurse, scrub colors. remember the pants?
1-800-752-4927 hope they are still in the u.s. they were just outside huntsville, ala. i looked them up on the map once. did i say in this post that i bet each box, if you added a little extra
material here and there, i bet you could make 50 quilts.
here's a couple more.

I just got off the phone with them. Current prices are $25 for 50# of scraps. They only have solids and the boxes are assorted colors.

today, probably, only solids, did you ask them when or if they would have any prints?

I did. They said they will no longer offer prints.

i called them also. they said business is slow, so they just aren't making and selling uniforms like they did. i asked if they had moved their operation out of the country. and she said no. and i asked her were they going to have any print scraps later on. and she said yes. prob. she hoped they would.

i guess it's a good thing, i got carried away, and got it when the getting was good, and then i got my mom's when she passed away.

These quilts are nice, nice, nice. Your skills come screaming through. You must have been quilting for years. Very nice work. I love them all.

thanks for the nice compliment. no, i have not been making quilts for yrs. remember my grandma doing it tho, and getting blue ribbons at the fair. but yes, i have been sewing since i was l6. and taught 4-h sewing a couple yrs. and they took their stuff to the fair, and were 'judged'. and i had a stickler for a home ec teacher yrs ago. the quilt's believe it or not are all 'easy' patterns. or just a notch above that. been quilting about 10 yrs 'this time'. and i am still leaning stuff all the time. there for a while, when i made a quilt, i did something i hadn't done before. and i tell myself, it's suppose to be a hobby. don't kill yourself. 'we are suppose to be injoying this.'

Very nice!!

nice quilts
