Good idea to recoup from the painting at the sewing machine though.<br />Your block is wonderful, and your quilt will be too. It feels so good to make a quilt from all your scraps, doesn't it? That stash can get away from you if you don't watch it!<br />I still have boxes of scraps to iron and cut up a la Bonnie. They're about to get out of control again, so I need to work on that.

He's asked me to make him one for his birthday and I'd like to use my scraps and stash. I regularly cut down my scraps a la Bonnie but have only made one project of hers so far, the Pineapple Blossom.

To tell you the truth, I never really like my stash and like it even less when I am using it... but once it is a finished quilt, I love the fabrics. So, go figure! I am finding that I buy very little fabric these past few years as I work on using what I have and it is all working out to be - pretty! Your new quilt is going to be just scrap lovliness - I can tell! Cheers!
