Scrappy Rescue
1 Attachment(s)
A couple years ago my great niece gave me a box of fabric scraps from a quilt she started and abandoned. She told me I could do whatever I wanted with it. I was attempting to clean earlier this year and was just going to donate the whole box when I took a closer look. She had made a couple hundred 4 patches from various fabrics, from LQS quality to recycled clothing. Her seam allowances were also various. After all the work she had put in, I decided to see if I could pull something together. I had to recut all the 4 patches to the smallest size, added my own fabric for sashing & cornerstones, made up a border design and set the whole thing on point. I just meandered in the center and did some ruler work in the border. it finished at 72" X 92". I think it came out pretty well for a rescue, and I hope she likes it.

Your rescue guilt turned out beautifully. Your great-niece will be amazed.

She will be thrilled at your amazing transformation. What a gracious and generous great aunt you are to take her efforts, save them and wave your magic to create this wonder.

It is simply eye catching
You can pat yourself on the back. Wonderful save!!!

Wow, doubt you could have done better had it been planned in advance, what a great looking quilt, bet she'll just love it!

Oh, that is nice! Mind if I steal it? I still have a whole bunch of 2 1/2 inch squares from the birthday swap a couple of years ago
