Beautiful quilt...
When I first start...Great idea! Beautiful quilt...<br /><br />When I first started quilting, my daughter worked with me, designing and cutting. She suggested cutting a 4 inch square from every new fabric in my stash. Before long I had a tall stack of squares, and we commenced to design several scrap quilts from them, some using squares, some using half square triangles we made by sewing two squares together. When I brought the last one to Show & Tell at my guild, her brilliant idea sparked the loudest applause I ever received there!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128455695055025252noreply@blogger.com
