    Default Scraps of love quilt for nephew and wife
    I always wanted to make a scrap quilt from leftovers of previous projects. I made 2.5 by 7.5 inch rectangles and made a braid, and then "piano key" rows. It made a very colorful, bright quilt. I even used bindings left over from other quilts, with 11 different fabrics! To quilt it, I did hearts in a row, heart feathers, and fmq in the borders. Will gift this to my nephew and his wife this coming weekend. It seemed to take forever, but it is finished!
