Suz, I am a breeding bitch holder for our area Guide Dog organization....so once a year on average I too am confined to the ground floor...well the kitchen really...of my house, with my quilting studio upstairs and out of reach for weeks! Not only does the mom dog need support as she gets used to all those tiny strangers, the tiny strangers often get lost and need a helping hand. This time we had 10 boys..oy!!
Anyway, I do set up a station next to the puppy box, and this time I found a fantastic project perfect for the occasion! I cut all the "kits" required to make a colourwash scrap quilt a la the method of Terry Rowland (video link below).
It is the single best scrapbuster approach I have ever seen...easy, fun, and something you can drop in and out of. I hauled a big bin of my scraps to the kitchen and had a blast making the block kits.
Here is the link to the first of her three colourwash scrap quilt videos:
