Mom sewed scrap fabric to 100 pieces of typing paper. She then gave half to me and half to my other sister. I cut the paper into 8-1/2" squares and made this quilt, used the rest of the material on the border

love the contrast... & the story!!

Wow! How special is that!!! I am sewing yards of scraps to 3" till rolls which will EVENTUALLY become a quilt!! Love what you did with yours!!

A great way to use your mom's scraps! It makes an heirloom from your Mother-a very special gift.

That is such a treasure. I love how you set your blcoks

Truly a family quilt!! How wonderful :) Very special and lovely.
Thanks for sharing your story and quilt.

I am doing a string block exchange in September. Ours will all have a red strip in the middle. I may have to "borrow" your idea and use red fabrics in place of the black. It is beautiful!

How lucky to share this with your sweet mama! Love the quilt too.

Awesome quilt. I love it.

This is so unique and very pretty! Great job. :)
